Question
Answer
The immune system   the body's major defense mechanism against infections, abnormal and damaged cells; bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites  
🗑
the immune system consists of   complex intricate network of specialized tissues, cells and organs  
🗑
the immune system's goal   to protect the body by seeking and destroying damaged cells while preserving the host  
🗑
the immune system is activated by   major and minor injuries  
🗑
an innate immune response is   vascular,cellular and healing  
🗑
an adaptive immune response is   antibody and cell mediated  
🗑
leukocytes   WBC's released from bone marrow  
🗑
leukopenia   the decrease in WBC numbers  
🗑
leukocytosis   the increase in WBC numbers  
🗑
granulocytes   neutrophils, esinophils and basophils  
🗑
monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells   are mediators of immunity, recognized foreign matter and initiate immune response  
🗑
lymphocytes   principal effector and regulator of specific immune response, T cells, B cells and NK cells  
🗑
antigens   invaders, provoke a specific immune response  
🗑
antibodies   bind with antigens and deactivate them  
🗑
5 types of antibodies   IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE  
🗑
lymph   via lymph nodes  
🗑
T cells   become mature in the thymus gland  
🗑
B cells   become mature in the bone marrow  
🗑
T lymphocytes   mature into Helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, or memory T cells  
🗑
Memory cells   are responsible for providing acquired immunity  
🗑
cell mediated immune response   lymphocytes themselves make helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells and NK cells to deactivate the antigen  
🗑
innate immune response   first line of defense; non-specific (skin and mucosal barriers, vascular and cellular responses and phagocytosis)  
🗑
vascular response   stage one; local blood vessels briefly constrict, vasodilation of capillary arterioles and venules allow inflow of fluid, fluid accumulates and swelling ensues, and drainage  
🗑
vascular response aids in   localized invading bacteria and keeps them form spreading by trapping them in the fibrin threads  
🗑
phagocytosis   the eating of one cell by another cell  
🗑
debridement   when the cells are removing exudate from the cellular response stage, this sets the wound up for healing  
🗑
reconstruction   when the cells begin to repair themselves, their goal is to end with resolution because some cells can regenerate themselves while others cannot  
🗑
adaptive immune response   due to an initial exposure to an antigen, the body develops a memory and a plan against this antigen  
🗑
antibody mediated   driven by B cells, B cells contact antigen and create antibody producing plasma cells and memory cells  
🗑
immunoglobulin   antibody Ig; theses antibodies bind and inactivate specific antigens  
🗑
B cells + antigen =   antibody producing plasma cells and memory cells  
🗑
cell mediated   for sleeper cells that are hidden, initiated by T cells, cell mediated has a memory, additional exposures are treated quicker and more effectively  
🗑
two types of cell mediated   killer T cells and Helper T cells  
🗑
active immunity   body produces antibodies or develops immune lymphocytes against specific antigens; it can be naturally or artificially obtained  
🗑
passive immunity   provides temporary protection against disease producing agents, protection is gradually lost, passive immunity can be naturally or artificially obtained  
🗑
natural immunity   obtained by infection resulting in antibodies or transfer from mom to baby  
🗑
artificial immunity   obtained by immunization with antigen or administration of antibodies in Ig  
🗑
diagnostics   serum protein, protein electrophoresis, antibody testing, skin testing  
🗑
vaccination   suspensions of whole or fractioned bacteria or viruses, nopathogenic  
🗑
microorganisms   bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites  
🗑
virulent   ability to cause disease  
🗑
pathogens   are virulent organisms rarely found in the absence of disease  
🗑
infections happen when   pathogen is able to multiply within the host  
🗑
initial stage of infection   incubation period, pathogen begins to rplicate but no manifestations  
🗑
prodromal stage of infection   manifestations begin to appear  
🗑
acute stage of infection   pathogen proliferate and disseminate rapidly, toxic by products released  
🗑
convalescent stage of infection   ins contained and pathogen is eliminated  
🗑
nosocomial infections   acquired in health care setting, prevention is most important measure for control, wash your hands, patients are very susceptible. examples; MRSA,C-diff, and VRE  
🗑
white blood cell count   WBC  
🗑
WBC with dif   white blood cell count with differential  
🗑
CTpr   ProCalcitonin  
🗑
standard isolation   hand washing and gloves; treat everyone as if they have something  
🗑
contact isolation   hand washing, gloves, gown; anything that you could touch or take to another patient  
🗑
droplet isolation   hand washing, gloves, gown, mask, goggles; protect your from them as well as your other patients  
🗑
airborne isolation   hand washing, gloves, gown, N95 mask, goggles, negative air flow room  
🗑
