NURS 6030 Patho Exam 2 Questions With Complete Solutions Actions of white blood cells in inflammation - capillary permeability Correct Answers 1. Margination, stick to endothelium
-Chemokines Stimulate migration of WBC Cytokines: Regulate immune response Tumor necrosis factor Correct Answers -Tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha) Multiple inflammatory effects Works with IL- Cytokines: Regulate immune response, affect both innate & adaptive immunity Interleukins (IL-1, IL-6) Correct Answers -Interleukins (IL-1, IL-6) Mediators of inflammation, produce fever, chemotaxis Defenses against viruses: Correct Answers -Antibodies -Cellular immunity (cytotoxic t cells) -Interferons Differentiate between the humoral vs the cellular response Correct Answers Cellular immunity (T cells) - defense against viruses, fungi, mutant cancer cells Humoral immunity (antibodies) - important in defense against bacteria Host Correct Answers supporting organism on which a parasite lives
How do phagocytes (name some) recognize foreign cells/microorganisms? Correct Answers Targeted by antibody or C3b Neutrophils humoral response Correct Answers divided into two phases, primary and secondary. These differ in the relative amounts of IgG produced—the secondary response having a much higher proportion of IgG relative to IgM. The two responses also differ in the speed with which each occurs after antigen challenge— the secondary response being much more rapid than the primary response because of the presence of memory cells in the secondary phase. IgA Correct Answers immunoglobulin A body secretions saliva, bronchial secretions, 4 binding sites IgA Correct Answers mucosal immunity body secretions, ex. saliva IgD antibodies Correct Answers -located on B cell membranes where they act as antigen receptors -not much known B cell maturation IgE antibodies, Immunoglobulin E antibody Correct Answers - bind to mast cells and basophils and are involved in allergic reactions -allergy response binds to mast cells which release histamine IgG antibodies Correct Answers majority of circulating antibodies , 2 binding sites
Mast cell release/synthesize what substances? Correct Answers Histamine (eosinophils) Mycosis: Correct Answers infection with a fungus Neutralization Clump cells Correct Answers inactivating or blocking the binding of an antigen to a receptor Opportunistic: Correct Answers cause disease in immunocompromised host Pathogen: Correct Answers virulent organisms Precipitation Correct Answers -Making a soluble antigen into an insoluble precipitate of infectious agents or their toxic products -Inhaled or swallowed follows precipitation primary response Correct Answers first time the immune system combats a particular foreign substance
Step 2 Study Guide Response Correct Answers -Coagulation system: Activated by tissue collagen Hemostasis Walls off infection -Kinin system: Activated by injury path Produces bradykinin, vasodilation, vascular permeability Process of inflammation: containment and destruction of pathogens not the study guide version Correct Answers 2) containment and destruction of pathogens prevent the pathogens from spreading throughout the body
fibrinogen filters into tissue fluid clots, forms sticky mesh that walls off microbes heparin prevents clotting neutrophils (chief enemy of bacteria) accumulate at injury site w/in the hour (exhibit chemotaxis after leaving bloodstream) Process of inflammation: Mobilization of defenses not the study guide version Correct Answers 1)mobilization of body defenses - most immediate requirement for dealing with tissue injury is to get the defensive leukocytes to the site quickly local hyperemia - increase bloodflow beyond normal vasoactive chemicals dilate local blood vessels selectins - cell-adhesion molecules aid in the recruitment of leukocytes Process of inflammation: Tissue Clean Up
Causing infected cells to become malignant Virulence: Correct Answers potential to produce disease Virus: steps of virus invasion, impact of virus replication on host cell; How do viruses evade our immune system (i.e. what happens to the influenza virus each year)? Correct Answers - Small intracellular pathogen -Simple organism with no organelles -Basic structure, viron, contains nucleic acid protected by a capsid ----> enclosed by a lipoprotein envelope What are the mechanical/chemical barriers known as the 'first' line of defense? what type of immunity is it? Correct Answers - Innate Immunity - before exposure Epithelial barrier Inflammatory response with phagocytic neutrophils and macrophages Natural killer cells Complement system What are the names of the cells, what do they do? Correct Answers 1. Monocytes: arrive after 24 hours, macrophage precursors
What do antibodies do to help destroy an invader? Correct Answers Function:
