anatomy unit 2quiz 2

QuestionAnswer
basale cell carcinoma: -stratum basale (lower epidermis) -surgical removal -only rarley metastasizes (so doesn't pretty much)
metastasize: comes back and/or spreads very bad
squamous cell carcinoma: -superficial epidermis (stratum corneum) -can metastasize -surgical removal
malignant melanoma: -epidermis -the worst -surgical removal of if metastasized, chemotherapy/radiation
ABCDE rule: Assymmetry Border Color Diameter (more than a pencil eraser = bad) Evolving
1st degree burn: only epidermis, heals
2nd degree burn: epidermis and upper dermis, accessory structures damaged, may scar
3rd degree burn: epidermis and dermis, accessory structures damaged, goes numb, and needs a skin graft (does not heal on its own)
non-specific line(s) of defense: -skin -innate immune cells
specific line(s) of defense: antibodies
thymus: develops T cells
bone marrow: produces blood cells
spleen: "filter": stores white blood cells and removes damaged red blood cells
lymph nodes: filter out dead cells
lymphatic vessels: collect lymph fluid and return it to circulation
tonsils: protects the nose and mouth
lymphatic/immune system: destroys germs and other foreign substances
immunity: ability to fight infection by producing antibodies or killing the infected cells
pathogen: what causes the disease. ex: virus, bacteria, parasite, heartworm, etc
antigen: "the ID" of the cell -the little pointy things on the cell (looks like tiny hairs/bumps)
antibody: -proteins made by lymphocytes -combine w/ a specifc antigen (like a lock and a key) -looks like a V
lymphocytes: white blood cells inside of lymph nodes, detect presence of foreign antigens
innate immune cells: -non-specific -white blood cells produced by bone marrow
phagocytes: destroy pathogens by eating them
monocytes/macrophages: remove dead cells and microorganisms, initiate immune response
neutrophils: pus (ew) bc they squeeze out capillaries
eosinophil: fights against parasites and other infections
basophils: least common - allergic reactions
antibodies: -specific response -recognize and binds to antigens -does not fight against the infection, but slows down the infection on spreading
how does UV rays affect the skin? if not protected, UV radiation creates DNA damage and gene mutations, which can lead to the development of skin cancer
steps of wound healing and scarring: 1: bleeds, trigger immune response 2: phagocytes remove debris and clotting occurs, epithelial cells move to the injury 3: scab occurs while underneath, fibroblasts form collegen tissue 4: scab sheds and fibroblasts form scar tissue
steps of inflammation: 1: histamine increases blood flow 2: histamine causes capillaries to leak, releasing phagocytes and starts to clott the wound 3: phagocytes eat the bacteria 4: platelets move out of the capillary to seal the wounded area
lupus: -attacks healthy cells and tissues -pain, fever, rash, hair loss, swelling, etc
rhematoid arthritus: -crippling joints -attacks the membrane that protects joins -severe pain
multiple sclerosis: -attacks nervous system -sensasion problems, depression, weakness, difficulties w/ speech, etc
