Immune system SLE & HIV Focus

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
immunity   -body protection against infectious disease -series of actions in response to a pathogen - destroys or neutralizes organism  
🗑
bone marrow   all the cells of the immune system are initially derived from the bone marrow  
🗑
thymus   the function of the thymus is to produce mature t cell  
🗑
spleen   the spleen is an immnunologic filter of the blood  
🗑
lymph nodes   the lymph nodes function as an immunologic filter for the bodily fluid known as lymph. the cellular components of lymph are mostly t cells. B cells and macrophages are also found in lymph nodes  
🗑
innate immunity   is present from birth and consists of many factors that are relatively specific  
🗑
acquired immunity is more specialized   during the first encounter with a foreign substance the body develops an immune response against the substance. Memory cells will allow the body to react immediatley on each subsequent encounter with the foreign substance  
🗑
Leukocytes   defense against viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites  
🗑
monocytes   defend the body against bacterial and other infection and ingest aging and degenerating blood cells  
🗑
granulocytes   neutrophils, eosinophil and basophils. neutrophils combat infection by rapidly increasing in number, engulfing and destroying foreign substances  
🗑
lymphocytes   T, B and NK cells - patrol the blood and lymphatic systems for cancerous cells, fungi, viruses and bacteria.  
🗑
leukocytes pt 2   protect the body from invasion, neutrophils 60-70%, lymphocytes 25-35% WBC, monocytes, basophils and eosinphils  
🗑
Neutrophils   most numerous cell in WBC, acct for 60-70% of WBC, primary function is phagocytosis, increase in bacterial infections  
🗑
NKC   acts with t cells to provide cell mediated immunity, kill tumor cells and some virally infected cells  
🗑
monocytes - macrophages   first responder to invading microbes, chews up microbe and take antigen to T and B cells to activate specific immunity Phagocytosis  
🗑
Eosinphils   increase during allergic response release enzymes which degrade histamine and other mediators of inflammation  
🗑
Basophils and tissue Mast cells   responsible for inflammatory and anaphalatic responses. secrete heparin, histamine, serotonin, kinins, leukotrienes, prostoglandins. ARE ACTIVATED BY BINDING WITH IgE  
🗑
lymphocytes pt 2   acct for 25-35% of WBC. Increase with viral infections. B, T and NKC  
🗑
anaphylactic reaction   an antigen/antibody response, which cause a life threatening release of histamine, vasodilation and capillary permeability  
🗑
medical treatment for anaphylactic rxn   epinephrine, benadryl, o2, iv fluids and corticosteroids  
🗑
immune system and stress   more depression, mire compromise of cell mediated immunity, lower NK activity, altered # WBC  
🗑
autoimmune disease   produced when the body's normal tolerance of antigen on its own cells is disrupted  
🗑
autoimmune responses   may be systemic or organ specific  
🗑
systemic autoimmune response   SLE - systemic lupus erythematosus, and Rheumatoid arthritis  
🗑
Local autoimmune response   myasthenia gravis, graves, addisons and insulin dependent diabetes  
🗑
SLE   systemic lupus erythematosus SLE - an autoimmune disorder that affects multiple body systems and is characterized by exacerbations and remissions  
🗑
dx SLE   malar "butterfly" rash, discoid skin rash, photosensitivity, mucus membrane ulcers, arthritis  
🗑
s/s SLE   fatigue, low grade fever, loss of appeetite, muscle aches, arthritis, ulcers of the mouth and nose, facial flush, unusual sensitivity to sunlight, inflammation  
🗑
LUPUS   poor circulation to the fingers and toes with cold exposure, serious organ involvement with inflammation occurs in the brain, lier and kidney, WBC and Blood clotting facros also can be decreased in SLE, most pt with SLE will develop arthritis,  
🗑
SLe   kidney inflammation in SLE an cause leakage of protein into the urine, fluid rentention and HTN, involvement of the brain an cause personality changes, thought disorders, seizures and even coma. Damage to nerves can cause numbness tingling. Alopecia  
🗑
SLE tx   no permanent cure for SLE, goal is to relieve s/s. Drugs -> NSAIDS, antimalarial drugs (plaquenil) and corticosteroids  
🗑
HIV vs AIDS   HIV means having the virus, there is no cure for HIV, HIV attacks the body's immune sys by invading t cells, tx can slow HIV attack on immune sys, early detection of HIV means early tx which keeps the immune sys healthy,AIDS occur over time after HIV  
🗑
you cannot get HIV from   kissing, hugging, sneezing, coughing, sweat, urine, vomit, sharing a toilet, sharing food, sharing a glass, sharing utensils, sharing clothes  
🗑
HIV can be found in   blood, semen, pre-semen, vaginal/cervical secretions, breast milk, any body fluid containing blood of an infected person  
🗑
HIV-1 Antibody tests:ELISA   Enzyme linked immnosorbent assay, CD4+ cell count  
🗑


   

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.
