Question
Answer
Normal Microbiota   show
🗑
show Skin prevents microorganism overgrowth by being slightly acidic and salty.  
🗑
show P. acnes are normal residents of the skin but when pores become engorged with excess oil and sebum fluid that is secreted by oil glands, it creates an anaerobic environment where P. acnes can live.  
🗑
How does propionibacterium acnes cause body odor?   show
🗑
Why is there no normal microbiota in the lower respiratory tract?   show
🗑
show Can cause pneumonia or TB  
🗑
How do we avoid normal microbiota in the lower respiratory tract?   show
🗑
Streptococcus sobrinus causes   show
🗑
Streptococcus mutans causes   show
🗑
Why do the stomach and small intestine have a lower number of microorganisms than the large intestine?   show
🗑
show Nope, microbiota free.  
🗑
show Female: cmopex microbiota in flux due to menstrual cycle.  
🗑
What bacteria is predominant in female genetalia?   show
🗑
show 1. Prevent pathogen attachment 2. Consume available nutrients so bad things can't eat them. 3. Produce toxic compounds that in hibit other microbes 4. Prime the immune system.  
🗑
Opportunistic pathogen   show
🗑
show Hormonal changes, type of food consumed, ethnicity, antibiotics.  
🗑
How can a woman get a yeast infection?   show
🗑
show 1. Number of organisms present 2. Virulence of pathogen 3. Host's defenses and degree of resistance  
🗑
Virulence   show
🗑
Virulence is determined by   show
🗑
Define infectivity   show
🗑
show Ability to spread to adjacent tissues  
🗑
show Degree to which pathogen can cause damage to host  
🗑
Virulence is measured by   show
🗑
show number that kills 50% of experimental host  
🗑
Define infectious dose   show
🗑
show 1. Maintain a reservoir 2. Be transported to host 3. Adhere to, colonize and/or invade host 4. Multiply or complete life cycles on or in host 5. Initially evade host defenses 6. Damage host 7. Leave host (Return to reservoir/enter new host)  
🗑
show Place to live before/after causing an infection  
🗑
show Other humans, animals, or the environment  
🗑
How are diseases transported? (Two ways)   show
🗑
Define direct contact   show
🗑
Define indirect contact   show
🗑
show Adhesins recognize specific receptors on the host cells surface  
🗑
Define colonization process   show
🗑
show Active: penetration of mucous membrane and epithelium Passive: Entering through skin lesions, wounds  
🗑
show When pathogen finds appropriate environment within the host  
🗑
show viable bacteria in blood  
🗑
show bacteria AND toxins in the bloodstream  
🗑
show Leave the host  
🗑
Virulence genes   show
🗑
show A few  
🗑
Define pathogenicity islands   show
🗑
When are pathogenicity islands acquired?   show
🗑
show Environmental factors (control gene expression)  
🗑
What are virulence factors made of?   show
🗑
show disease resulting from entry of a specific preformed toxin into host  
🗑
Define toxin   show
🗑
Define toxemia   show
🗑
What is an AB toxin?   show
🗑
show Reponsible for toxic effect; does the damage  
🗑
Role of the B subunit   show
🗑
How do Cytolytic toxins work?   show
🗑
show Poreforming adn Phospholipase  
🗑
show Forms a hole in the membrane, Water enters and the cell dies  
🗑
show Kill phagocytic leukocytes  
🗑
show Kill erythrocytes, leukocytes and many others  
🗑
show Act directly on neurons by interfering with membrane protein and ion channels  
🗑
show Interacts with host molecules and cells, activates host enzymes  
🗑
show Fever, shock, blood coagulation, weakness, diarrhea, inflmmation  
🗑
Barriers of nonspecific resistance   show
🗑
Define nonspecific   show
🗑
show Stem cells in the bone marrow  
🗑
show the innate immune system  
🗑
T cells' job   show
🗑
show Differentiate into plasma cells and form antibodies  
🗑
PAMP   show
🗑
PRR   show
🗑
show Phagocytes recognize PAMPs via a family of membrane bound PRRs. Phagocytes are activated to produce metabolic products that kill the pathogen and limit its effects  
🗑
show Pain, swelling, heat, redness  
🗑
First half of Inflammation   show
🗑
Define antigen   show
🗑
Second half of Inflammation   show
🗑
How do dendritic cells start adaptive immune response?   show
🗑
CD8+ cells function   show
🗑
show Activate B cells that become plasma cells, which make antibodies  
🗑
Innate immune system:   show
🗑
show Skin, gastrointestinal tract, airways, lungs, eyes, nasopharynx  
🗑
show Highly specialized; systemic cells and processes to eliminate and prevent pathogenic growth; activated by innate immune system  
🗑
Cells used during adaptive immune system   show
🗑
show Cells "remember" pathogens by their signature antigen. If the pathogen infects the body more than once, the cells are used to quickly eliminate it.  
🗑
show When a person becomes exposed to a pathogen, use the vaccine to destroy/cut virus into small pieces. Antibodies are produced and find virus cells to gather for macrophages to destroy.  
🗑
show "turn on" B cell for body to be ready when real sickness comes  
🗑


   

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.
