26
Q

Three sets of tonsils:

A

Palatine, Pharyngeal (adenoids), Lingual

27
Q

Blood sinuses

A

Spread out blood vessels within the spleen, resulting in slow moving blood flow

28
Q

Thymosin

A

Hormone from thymus gland causes lymphocytes to change into T lymphocytes

29
Q

T lymphocytes

A

Type of lymphocyte involved with producing cells that physically attack and destroy pathogens

30
Q

Natural immunity

A

Immunity, not specific to a particular disease, doesn’t require prior exposure to the pathogen, a.k.a. innate immunity

31
Q

Acquired immunity

A

Protective response of body to a specific pathogen 

32
Q

Passive acquired immunity

A

Results when person receives, protective, substance produced by another human, or animal, example, maternal antibodies

33
Q

Active acquired immunity

A

Follows direct exposure to pathogenic agent, example chicken pox. Immunizations are also special kind of active acquires immunity.

34
Q

Antigen

A

Substance capable of inducing formation of antibody

35
Q

Pathogen

A

Microscopic organisms capable of causing disease

36
Q

Humoral immunity

A

Response to antigens by producing antibodies, also called antibody-mediated immunity.

Produces B lymphocytes/B cells, which produce the protective protein called an antibody/immunoglobulin

37
Q

Cellular immunity

A

Results in production of T cells and natural killer cells that directly attached to foreign cells, immune response, fights invasion, aka cell-mediated immunity.

Defense cells are cytotoxic - they physically attack and destroy pathogenic cells

38
Q

Antigen – antibody complex

A

When antibodies combine with antigen, either targets foreign substance for phagocytosis, or prevents the infectious agent from damaging healthy cells

39
Q

Nosocomial infection

A

Infection acquired as a result of Hospital, exposure, a.k.a. healthcare – associated infection

40
Q

Self inoculation

A

When person becomes infected in different part of body, by pathogen from another part of body

41
Q

Occupational safety and health administration – OSHA

A

Issued mandatory guidelines to ensure employees at risk of exposure to bodily fluids are provided with personal protective equipment
