Last Bio

TermDefinition
GI Tract Long tube from mouth to anus; Called the digestive or enteric tract 8 main sections with 4 main organs
GALT Gut associated lymphoid tissue Lymph nodes + Peyer's patches
Oral Cavity Over 600 microorganisms
Dental plaque synergistic community of bacteria on teeth; type of biofilm
Stomach sterile + low pH
Low intestine billions of microbes, protective, helps with digestion
Infection pathogens enter GI tract and multiply; fever is common
Intoxications ingestion of preformed toxin; sudden symptoms
Dysentary ******** severe diarrhea contains mucous + blood
Gastroenteritis inflammation of stomach
Acute diarrhea 3 or more loose stools in 24 hr period; high in children; due contaminated food
Salmonella large genus of bacteria; caused by salmonella enterica
Salmonellosis severe + mild forms; subside in 2-5 days HIGH ID 50
ID 50 measurement of how many organisms need to be ingested to cause disease
Prevention avoid contact with bacterium
Treatment fluids/electrolytes
Shigella resemble E. Coli; primarily humans; some apes Cause Dysentary; low ID 50; invade large intestine
Endotoxin cause fever
Enterotoxin affect GI tract + damage mucosa/villi
Shiga toxin serious damage to intestine
Shiga Toxin identical exotoxin in Shigella; stool test Antibiotic treatment
Campylobacter Caused by campylobacter jejuni prevent through water + milk sanitization
Clostridioides Difficle ( C- Diff ) spore forming; normal biota of intestine superinfects large intestine when drugs disrupt biota; CAUSE PSEODOMEMBRANEOUS
Vibrio Cholerae single flagellum; associated with salty water; produce cholera toxin Cells secrete fuilds (lots) causes rice water stools
Cryptosporidium protozoan transmitted by food with feces with contaminated feces
Norovirus fecal oral transmission cause viral gastroenteroitis
Rotavirus prevented by vaccine; low mortality cause viral gastroenteroitis
NOT DIARRHEA CAUSING NOW
Food poisoning cause nausea/vomiting toxins produced when organisms incubates in food
Clostridium perfringens form endospore then makes exotoxin
Bacillus Cereus form endospores and spores survive
Chronic Diarrhea longer than 2 weeks; AIDs patients suffer from Cyclospora
Giardia cause by Giardia duodenalis ( in water ) SMELLL REALLLLL Baddddd
Dental caries tooth decay; penetrate from enamel to dentin
Dental plaque biofilm involved in formation of dental caries (decay)
Gingivitis inflammation of gums
Mumps target salivary glands prevented by MMR vaccine
Helicobacter Peptic Ulcer Disease; caused by helicobacter pylori; grows in stomach + produce urease
Hepatitis inflammation marked by liver; causes jaundice (yellow tinge)
Hep. C parental transmission; blood transfusion no vaccine
Nematodes roundworms
Trematodes flukes
Cestodes tapeworms
Eosinophilia increase in granular leukocytes destroy helminths
NEXXXXXXTTT
Immunopathology study of diseases overactive and underactive
Hypersensitivity overreactivity
Hyposensitivity underactive
HYPERSENSITIVITY TYPE 1:
Atopy chronic local allergy
Anaphylaxis fatal reaction; airway obstruction
allergy exaggerated immune response; inflammation
allergens antigens that induce allergy
HYPERSENSITIVITY TYPE 2:
IgG and IgM target foreign antigens
alloantigen present in some; not all members of same species
immune complex reaction free floating complexes deposited into tissues
Immune complex disease complexes deposited into membranes
delayed hypersensitivity symptoms arise days after contact
Tuberculin reaction skin inflammation at injection site of tuberculin
Contact dermatitis allergen penetrates outer skin; epidermis damage
Grafts Rejection T cells bind to tissue and starts rejection (2 weeks)
Autograft from one body site to another on same individual
Isograft tissue used from indentical twin
Allograft genetically different individuals
Xenograft between individuals of different species
Autoimmune diseases individuals develop hypersensitivity to themselves; autoantibodies attack antigens
Genetics develop autoantibodies to disease
Molecular immunity antigens have similar structure as host
Infection virus alters cell receptors
Gut microbiome healthy biome trains immune system
Primary diseases born with
secondary diseases acquired after birth
Phenotypic observations (morphology/physiology)
Immunologic serological analysis
genotypic genetic characteristics
Lab technique order 1-3 Patient analysis, specimen collection, results put into chart
Specialized media pathogen present in small numbers
Selective media nonsterile specimens with many bacteria species; want one specimen growth
Differential media identify different characteristics/patterns
Dichotomous key flowchart to identify specimens
serology in vitro testing for antibodies
blood plasma liquid component of blood
blood serum blood with all cells and no clotting factors
agglutination antigens displays surface antigens antigen= same per well; antibody=diluted by half per well
Lower titer agglutination stops quickly
Higher titer agglutination proceeds longer
Hemagglutination RBC antigens and complementary antibodies
Precipitin ring test cloudy line forms to show antigen antibody ratio
Lateral flow test prego test; fluid flows directly in one direction
Serotyping identifying, classifying, subgrouping bacteria into serotypes
Western Blot cell proteins separated by electrical charge in gel
Immunofluorescence testing direct = unknown specimen fixed to slide indirect = antigen added to serum
ELISA Assay antibody linked to enzyme Direct= want antigens; Indirect = want antibodies
specificity focus on certain antigen/antibody
sensitivity quantities of antibodies/antigens in specimen
Probes small DNA /RNA segments
In sito probes applied to cells
Microassays (chips) gene sequences on absorbent plates
Urinary Tract removes substances from blood; regulates body processes, form urine; transport out of body; kidney, bladder, ureters/urethra; urine is NOT STERILE
Genital system known as reproductive system;
Lactobacillus predominant genus in females promotes estrogen production
Urethritis inflammation of urethra; can become a bladder infection; then can progress to ureters and then to kidneys (least worst to worst)
Cystitis inflammation of urinary bladder; caused by E coli; Dysuria present ( painful urination)
Pyelonephritis inflammation of one or both kidneys; caused by E coii; fever and back pain causes bacteremia; scar tissue can form
Sexually transmitted infections (SDI's) formerly STDs; no signs/symptoms
Gonorrhea caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae; cause inflammatiom + pus
Chlamydia Nongonococcal urethritis; inflammation of urethra caused by Chlamydia trachtomatis; contributes to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) due to Polymicrobial infection (multiple microbes)
Salpingitis infection of uretine tubes (effect fertility and prgenancy)
Vaginitis inflammation of vagina due to infection; FUNGUS grows
Vaginosis no inflammation; cause by BACTERIA (Gardnerella)
Syphilis cause by Treponema pollidum grows slowly ; inflammation in stages 1st stage= lesions (chancre ) 2nd stage= skin + mucosa rashes Latent period = happens with no treatment; no symptoms Tertiary stage = years later gummas inflamed on organs
Cogenital syphilis placenta to fetus
Genital herpes cause by herpes virus (HSV-2) vesicles on genitals

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.
