The Immune System

QuestionAnswer
Anti- infectives antibiotics, antimicrobials, antifungals, antivirals, and antibacterials
Drugs that affect the immune system treatment drugs for HIV/AIDS, TB, and Malaria which are antivirals
Malaria comes from Anopheles(female misquito) and is treated with (antimalarial)hydroxychloroquine(generic)Plaquenil sulfat(brand).Prophylaxis & treatment for acute malarial attacks
Antibodies called immunoglobulins,(naturally occuring in the body) are proteins that specifically attack and bind to the surface of pathogens or antigens
Antigen molecules that trigger an immune response
METHODS OF TRANSMISSION OF PATHOGENS
Anti- infectives antibiotics, antimicrobials, antifungals, antivirals, and antibacterials
FOUR BASIC TYPES OF MICROORGANISMS that can be helpful or pathogenic(out of control bacteria) to the host:
Drugs that affect the immune system treatment drugs for HIV/AIDS, TB, and Malaria which are antivirals
(1) Bacteria single celled organisms with a cell wall and cellular organelles that allow them to live independetly in the environment.(don't need living thin to live)
Malaria comes from Anopheles(female misquito) and is treated with (antimalarial)hydroxychloroquine(generic)Plaquenil sulfat(brand).Prophylaxis & treatment for acute malarial attacks
(2)Viruses timy genetic parasites that require the host cell to replicate and spread. (live on surfaces for short amount of time and will die)
Antibodies called immunoglobulins,(naturally occuring in the body) are proteins that specifically attack and bind to the surface of pathogens or antigens
(3)Fungi non-photosynthetic (don't have chlorphil, so not light source needed), eukoryotic, single or multicellular organisms that are found throughout the environment (Ex. mushrooms, mold, mildew, althelet foot, and yeast)
Antigen molecules that trigger an immune response
(4)Parasites protozoa(cenipede), roundworms(pinworms), flatworms (tateworms), and arthropods
METHODS OF TRANSMISSION OF PATHOGENS
Pathogen a disease causin organism
FOUR BASIC TYPES OF MICROORGANISMS that can be helpful or pathogenic(out of control bacteria) to the host:
(1) Bacteria single celled organisms with a cell wall and cellular organelles that allow them to live independetly in the environment.(don't need living thin to live)
(2)Viruses timy genetic parasites that require the host cell to replicate and spread. (live on surfaces for short amount of time and will die)
treat viruses only antivirals
(3)Fungi non-photosynthetic (don't have chlorphil, so not light source needed), eukoryotic, single or multicellular organisms that are found throughout the environment (Ex. mushrooms, mold, mildew, althelet foot, and yeast)
treat fungi
(4)Parasites protozoa(cenipede), roundworms(pinworms), flatworms (tateworms), and arthropods
THREE MAIN ROUTES OF PATHOGEN TRANSMISSION: ingestion, inhalation, and physical contact
Most common form of transmission of pathogens is via UNWASHED HANDS
Antimicrobial skin cleansers HibaClens, PhisoDerm,>OTC and PhisoHex>RX
anti-infectives treat bacteria only antibacterials
treat viruses only antivirals
treat fungi antifungals
more than one type of pathogen bord spectrum of antibiotics
Anti-infective is antimicrobial which means against the growth of microorganisms or microbes

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
