MOT 123 FINAL
FINAL REVIEW
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The study of microorganisms and their place or role in their environment. environment | Microbiology |
| ___________ is any disruption of normal body functioning. | Disease |

| A ________ infection is made possible by a primary infection that has lowered the host’s resistance. | Secondary |
| _________ infections are acquired in hospitals or other institutions. | Nosocomial |
| ___________ is an outbreak of a disease with more than the usual number of cases in a given period of time is classified as what? | Epidemic |
| _________ is an outbreak of a disease in a population with an expected or usual number of cases in a given period of time this is classified as what? | Endemic |
| Pandemic is defined as___________. | an epidemic that has spread throughout several countries |
| Define Zoonoses | animal disease that people acquire in certain circumstances. (Swine flu / Bird flu / Mad cow) |
| A _____________ is a disease which cannot be transmitted directly or indirectly from host to host. | Non-communicable |

| Define Contagious. | A communicable disease that is easily spread from host to host by casual contac such as(cutaneous contact or respiratory droplets) |
| Define Antiseptic. | a chemical that destroys bacteria or inhibits their growth on a living being. |
| Disinfectant is ______________. | a chemical that is used on inanimate objects. |
| Bactericides do what? | kill bacteria by disrupting important metabolic processes |
| What do bacteriostatic chemicals do? | They do not destroy bacteria, but inhibit their reproduction and slow their growth. |
| The process that destroys all living organisms is called what? | Sterilization |
| Coccus have a ________ shape. | sphere |
| Bacillus are _____ shaped. | rod |
| Spirillum have what shape? | long cell with one or more curves |
| Staphylo have ____________ of cells | clusters |
| Strepto have _________ of cells | chains |
| Diplo have _____________ of cells | pairs |
| Which viruses can cross the placental barrier and affect a developing fetus? | German measles, HIV, Chicken Pox |

| Ectoparasites live where? | on the surface of the body |
| Give an example of an Arthropod? | Scabies, mites, head lice. |
| What is a vector? | Insects that carry and transfer disease. |
| _________ is an infection that originates within the body. | Endogenous |
| _______ are infections that originate from outside the body. | Exogenous |
| What is another name for a tumor? | Neoplasm |
| _____________ is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled cell proliferation. | Cancer |
| ____________ are invasive cells that multiply excessively & can infiltrate surrounding tissue. Tend to bleed, ulcerate, & become infected. Poorly differentiated & do not resemble the tissue of origin. Can metastasize. | Malignant Cancer |
