Q

processes to make the flu vaccine?

A

recombinant process - small portion of virus used

18
Q

evolution relate to influenza?

A

recognizing methods that organisms change

19
Q

what is evolution?

A

change over time

20
Q

process of organisms change over time?

A

exchange genetic material over time, going from animals humans

21
Q

evolution happened why?

A

natural selection drives evolutionary change

22
Q

how does natural selection work?

A

it allows adaption to new environments

23
Q

types of selection

A
  1. stabilizing selection - common variant trait, most adaptive to env.
  2. directional selection - env. causes directional change in variants.
  3. distributive selection - most common variation, favors ends of distribution
24
Q

function of DNA and protein synthesis within offspring…

A

DNA, RNA, protein

25
Q

evidence of evolution?

A

fossil record

26
Q

how does influenza evolve?

A
  1. antigenic drift - changes in surface spikes
  2. antigenic shift - affects immune system
27
Q

purpose of immune system?

A

protect bodies from foreign entities

28
Q

organs of immune system?

A

lmphnodes, red bone marrow, spleen, thymus

29
Q

cells used by the immune system?

A
  1. macrophages/dendritic/neutrophils - destroy pathogens
  2. natural killer - destroy infected cells
  3. B lympndes - produce antibodies
  4. T lympnodes - target specfic affected cells
30
Q

role of MHC markers?

A

self-identification tag

31
Q

what is an antigen?

A

substance producing specific immune response in the body

32
Q

why does the immune system need to identify healthy “self” cells?

A

to know what to target

33
Q

immune system affect influenza?

A

several layers of defense and targeting

34
Q

pathways of of nonspecific immune response systems?

A
  1. skin
  2. respitory track
  3. stomach
35
Q

compare B and T lymphnodes

A

B - produce anitbodies
T - target affected cells

36
Q

process of immune system memory?

A

activated B cells wait for future exposure

37
Q

how can vaccines prepare immune systems?

A

they are stronger because they know how to respond

38
Q

developing treatment for influenze?

A

antiviral agents for universal flu vaccine

39
Q

concerns of flu outbreaks in global society?

A

evolves quickly

40
Q

mode of actions of antiviral meds?

A
  1. attachment
  2. uncoating
  3. release
41
Q

what can a universal flu do?

A

save the world
