Question
Answer
the immune system   body's major defense mechanism against infections, abnormal & damaged cells, bacteria, fungi, viruses & parasites  
🗑
immune system consists of   complex networks of specialized tissues, cells and organs  
🗑
immune system's goal   protect body by seeking & destroying damaged cells but preserving host  
🗑
immune system is activated by   minor and major injuries, allergic reactions  
🗑
1st phase of innate response   vascular  
🗑
2nd phase of innate response   cellular  
🗑
adaptive immune responses   cell mediated and antibody  
🗑
leukocytes   WBC's-released from bone marrow  
🗑
leukopenia   decreased # of WBC count  
🗑
leukocytosis   increased # of WBC count  
🗑
granulocytes   neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils  
🗑
monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells   mediators of immunity, recognize foreign matters & initiate immune response  
🗑
lymphocytes   regulator of specific immune responses-t cells, B cells, NK cells  
🗑
antigens   invaders, provoke specific immune response  
🗑
antibodies   bind with antigens to deactivate them  
🗑
5 types of antibodies   IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, IgE  
🗑
lymph   via lymph nodes  
🗑
T cells   become mature in thymus gland  
🗑
B cells   become mature in bone marrow  
🗑
T lympocytes   mature into Helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells, or memory cells  
🗑
cell mediated immune response   lymphocytes make Helper T cells, cytotoxic T cells & NK cells to deactivate the antigen  
🗑
innate immune response   1st line of defense, nonspecific  
🗑
vascular response   state 1 of innate response. blood vessels constrict then capillary arterioles allow fluid flow, swelling, drainage  
🗑
vascular response aids in   invading bacteria gets trapped in fibrin threads  
🗑
phagocytosis   cells eating other cells  
🗑
debridement   removal of dead tissue to promote healing  
🗑
reconstruction   cells repair themselves  
🗑
adaptive immune response   at initial exposure to antigen, body develops memory and plan against specific antigen  
🗑
antibody mediated   driven by B cells which contact antigen and create antibody producing plasma and memory cells  
🗑
immunoglobulin   antibody Ig-bind and inactivate specific antigens  
🗑
B cells + antigen   antibody producing plasma cells and memory cells  
🗑
cell mediated   for sleeper cells that are hidden, initiated by T cells, cell mediated has memory, additional exposures are treated more effectively and quickly  
🗑
types of cell mediated   killer T cells and Helper T cells  
🗑
active immunity   body produces antibodies against specific antigens, naturally or artificially obtained  
🗑
passive immunity   short term, mother to baby  
🗑
natural immunity   obtained by infection resulting in antibodies  
🗑
artificial immunity   obtained by immunizations  
🗑
diagnostics   serum protein, protein electrophoresis, antibody testing, skin testing  
🗑
vaccination   suspensions of bacteria or viruses, nonpathogenic  
🗑
microorganisms   bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites  
🗑
virulent   microorganism's ability to cause disease  
🗑
pathogens   virulent organisms rarely found in absence of disease  
🗑
infections occur when   pathogen is able to multiply within the host  
🗑
initial stage   incubation period, pathogen begins replication  
🗑
prodromal stage   manifestations appear-symptoms  
🗑
acute stage   pathogen proliferate and disseminate rapidly, byproducts released  
🗑
convalescent stage   infection contained and pathogen is eliminated  
🗑
nosocomial infection   infection obtained in healthcare setting  
🗑
white blood cell count   WBC's  
🗑
standard isolation   hand washing, gloves-treat everyone as if infected  
🗑
contact isolation   hand washing, gloves, gown-anything touchable and transferrable to other pts  
🗑
droplet isolation   hand washing, gloves, mask, gown, goggles-protect you as well as other patients and infected patient  
🗑
airborne isolation   hand washing, gloves, gown, goggles, negative air flow room, N95 mask  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
