| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Antibody | A protein substance produced in the blood or tissues in response to a specific antigen that destroy or weaken the antigen ( Part of the immune system ) |
| Antigen | A substance that stimulates the production of an antibody when introduced into the body. Antigens include toxin, bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substance. |
| cytoplasm ( Fills GAPS ) | The cell substance that fills the area between the nucleus and the cell membrane. It contains the organelles of the cells. |
| Debris ( Broken ) | The remains of anything broken down or destroyed; ruins, rubble. |
| Differentiate ( One From The Other ) | To distinguish one thing from another. To make a distinction between items. |
| Homoeostasis ( Balance ) | The internal environment of the body that is compatible (BALANCE) with life. A steady state that is created by all the body system working together to provide a consistent and unvarying internal environment. |
| Inflammation | A pathology characterized by redness, swelling, pain, tenderness, heat, and disturbed function of an area of the body. Especially a reaction of tissues to injury. |
| Intact ( Unbroken ) | Complete or whole. Not Altered; unbroken. |
| Lymph | A ( CLEAR, YELLOW FLUID ) containing white blood cells in a liquid similar to plasma. The fluid comes from the tissues of the body and is moved through the lymphatic vessels and the bloodstream. |
| lymphocyte | A type of ( WHITE BLOOD CELLS ) that has a large , round nucleus that is surrounded by a thin layer of agranglar cytoplasm |
| Macrophages | Large white blood cells that ( LIVES ) in the tissues. They engulf foreign particles, microorganisms, and cell debris. |
| Mirobiome | The total ( COLLECTION OF MICROORGANISMS ) and their genetic material present on or in the human body or a specific site in the human body. |
| Microorganisms | Any ( LIVING ORGANISMS OF MICROSCOPIC SIZE ). Includes bacteria, protozoa, fungi, parasites, and helminths. |
| Monocyte | An Agranulocyte that engulfs foreign particles, Microorganisms, and cell debris |
| Pandemic | A disease the prevalent throughout an entire country, continent, or whole world |
| Pathogen | Disease-causing organism |
| Permeable | A SUBSTANCE or STRUCTURE that can pass through, especially by LIQUID or GASES. |
| Peyer Patches ( Found in the ileum of the small Intestine ) | Small masses of lymphatic tissues found mostly in the ileum of the small intestine. They are an important part of the immune system because they monitor intestinal bacteria population. |
| Reflexes | Movements or processes caused by a reflex response; a reflex is an automatic response that does not require thought. |
| Replication ( Copy ) | The production of exact copies of a complex molecule, such as DNA |
| Stem Cells | Undifferentiated cells that can become specialized cells in the body. |
| Vasoconstriction | A CONTRACTION OF MUSCLES that occur that causes narrowing of the inside tube of a vessel. |
| This term is also used to describe a hypersensitivity reaction ? | Allergy's |
| Specific immunity is dependent on what ? | Agranulocytes |
| The THYMUS is NEEDED for the proper development of which white blood cell ? | T Lymhocyte |
| What are chemical messages secreted by cells of the immune system that direct immune cellular interaction ? | Cytokiness |
| What is an example of a second-line non-specific defense ? | Fever |
| What is a protein produced by the body in reaction to a perceived foreign substance ? | Antigen |
| Is when a pathogen causes inflammation ? | Infection |
| Monocytes changes into ( ? ) when they the bloodstream and enter tissues. | Macrophages |
| what are the two most aggressive phagocytic white blood cells ? | Neutrophils & Macrophages |
| The disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus and transmitted through body fluids via sexual contact or intravenous exposure is what ? | AIDS |
| Cells that are key in the immune response ? | Lymphocytes |
| What is the test for hypersensitivity ? | Allergy Testing |
| What is the development of memory cells to protect the individual from a second exposure ? | Natural Active ~ Acquired Immunity |
| Is a type of second - line defense , lymphocytes act nonspecifically to kill cells have been infected by certain viruses and cancer cells. | NK Cells |
| Immunoglobulins harvested from a donor who developed against antigens provided what ? | Artificial Passive ~ Acquired Immunity |
| Passage of antibodies through the placenta or breast milk is which type of immunity ? | Natural Active ~ Acquired Immunity |
| T Cells directly attack antigens in what ? | Cell-Meditated Immunity |
| Drugs used as anti-inflammatories are considered to be what ? | Corticosteroids |
| Humoral Immunity is the same as what ? | Antibody-Meditated Immunity |
| A center of plasma cells is called what ? | Multiple Myeloma |
| Cancer identified by the presence of reed-sternberg (RS) cells is called what ? | Hodgkins Lymphoma |
| Hypersensitivity such as food allergies and bee sting allergies are called what ? | Immediate Hypersensitivity |
| Myasthenia gravis (MG) , psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis are examples of what ? | Autoimmune Disease |
| Is hypersensitivity that appears 24 - 48 hrs after exposure to an antigen ? | Delayed Hypersensitivity |
| Enzymes | Special protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in the body |
| Viability | The ability to live |
| Is when all blood cells originate from a single type of cell ? | Stem Cell |
| The thymus gland is instrumental in developing of T Cells. | T |
| The immune system is responsible for defending the body against disease. | T |
| The Two categories of leukocytes are Granulocytes & Agranulocytes | T |
| An example of a granular leukocyte is a monocyte | F |
| Substances that provoke an immune reaction because they are perceive as foreign are termed antigen. | T |
| The thymus activates B lymphocytes. | F |
| During a period of inflammation, The capillary walls become more permeable and allow the WBC's to get to the site of infection. | T |
| Cytotoxic T cells are also known as CD8+CELLS | T |
| Patient should continue to take their allergy medicine prior undergoing allergen skin testing. | F |
| Type 1 Diabetes is not considered an autoimmune disease. | F |
| Natural active immunity is short term immunity | F |
| Specific immunity can be natural or acquired | T |
| The term pyrexia refers to fever | T |
| Acquired immunity is either active or passive. | T |
| Natural passive acquired immunity may be gained through breast milk. | T |
| AIDS is an autoimmune disorder. | F |
| A Neutrophil is an agranulocyte | F |
| A hypersensitivity is the same as allergy | T |
| In an allergy, the sunstance that causes irritation is yeermed a allergen. | T |
| A RBC is. an example of immunoglobulin | F |
| A neutrophil is an agramulocyte | T |
| Natural active immunity occurs after a dose of immune globulin has been given. | |
| In response to an allergen, the immune cells will release histamines and other inflammatory substances. | |
| Artificial active immunity occurs after a dose of immune globulin has been given | |
| Phagocytes eat bacteria, viruses, and debris. |
