| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Agent, Reservoirs, Port of Exit, Transmission, Port of Entry, and Hosts make up the: | Infection Cycle |
| Bact, Virus, and Fungi are: | Agents |
| Where does Agents live/breed? | Reservoir |
| The _______ ____ _________ for Agent from Reservoir: Resp, GI, GU, Skin, Blood, Tissue. | Portal of Escape |
| Movement of Org. or Agent from Reservoir: | Means of Transmission |
| Means of Transmission: | Direct and Indirect Contact |
| Nonhuman carriers that transmit orgs from host to host: | Vectors |
| Point at which orgs enter new host, via Skin, Resp, GI or GU: | Portal of Entry |
| Susceptible Host: | Person |
| Incubation Pd., Prodromal Pd., Full stage of illness, Convalescent: | Stages of Infection |
| Period where there is no sickness, but virus is present: | Incubation |
| Person is MOST infectious, but not usually symptomatic: ex. chix pox. | Prodromal |
| Specific signs and symptoms of illness are present: | Full Stage |
| Ltd. to one body area: | Localized |
| Manifested throughout entire body: | Systemic |
| Recovery Pd., signs & symptoms disappear: | Convalescent |
| Eliminates invading pathogen, incr. WBC's: | Inflammatory Response |
| WBC's: | Leukocytes |
| Phagocytosis of microorganisms, FIRST RESPONDER: | Neutrophils |
| Release histamine, leading to inflammation: | Basophils |
| Numbers are increased in allergic responses: | Eosinophils |
| Active in cell-mediated immune response, HIV: | T-lymphs |
| Produce Ab's, have memory, about 10 yrs.: | B-lymphs |
| Phagocytes | Monocytes |
| "Response Team", eat the mature WBC's: | Macrophages |
| Foreign material, LOCK: | Antigen |
| Counteract the effect of the antigen, KEY: | Antibody |
| Source of Stem Cells, Lymphs & maturation of B-lymphs: | Bone Marrow |
| Gland located in the mediastinum and site of maturation and proliferation of T lymphs: | Thymus |
| Lymph nodes, spleen and tonsils, intestinal lymphoid tissue, and the lymphatic circulation. | Lymphoid Structures |
| Arise from stem cells in the bone marrow and then travel to the thymus for further differentiation. | T Cells |
| Responsible for humoral immunity through the production of Ab's or immunoglobulins. | B Cells |
| Antibodies or immunoglobulins are: | Proteins |
| Major component of the immunoglobulin pool that circulates in body fluids: | IgG |
| Can cross the placenta from mother to fetus, offering important protection to the newborn: | IgG |
| Develops early in the course of an infection and then subsides as IgG levels rise: | IgM |
| acts as a defense on mucous membranes, Occurring in saliva and secretions in the respiratory and digestive tracts: | IgA |
| Present in colostrum: | IgA |
| Primarily bound to mast cells and is involved in hypersensitivity reactions: | IgE |
| Appears to be related to B-cell activity in some way: | IgD |
| person's own body develops antibodies or T cells in response to a specific antigen | Active Immunity |
| exposure to an antigen, from person who has an infection | Active natural immunity |
| vaccine, toxoid | Active artificial immunity |
| Ab's are transferred from one person to another | Passive immunity |
| IgG from mother to fetus, Breast milk also | Passive natural immunity |
| injection of antibodies from a person or animal into a second person | Passive artificial immunity |
| A client living with AIDS develops oral hairy leukoplakia, an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. The leukoplakia is considered | a secondary infection |
