Health
What is health?
A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
This plane divides the body into anterior and posterior
Coronal plane
What´s the name of the cells that make up the adipose tissue?
Adipocytes
What is the name of the cells and pigment that give color to our skin?
Melanocytes and melanin
These large immune cells engulf and digest (phogocytosis) a wide range (non specific) pathogens.
Macrophages
Mention 1 aim of SDG 3
• End epidemics such as AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other communicable diseases by 2030.
•Achieve universal health coverage and to provide access to affordable medicines and vaccines for everyone.
•Educate the population and control infections or diseases.
What is anatomy?
Branch of biological sciences concerned with the identification and description of the structures of the human body
Mention the 3 functions of epithelial tissue
Protection, absorption and excretion
Mention the 3 types of skin cancer
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma
This organ filters blood and helps fight infections; it destroys old and damaged cells.
Spleen
Mention and explain the different levels of prevention.
Primary: Avoid apparition of disease
Secondary: Diagnose a disease in a timely manner and treat it appropriately
Tertiary: Prevent complications, sequelae, and temporary or permanent disability as a result of the disease
Mention the 3 principles of the anatomic position
Which fibers make up the cartilage tissue?
Elastin and collagen
How is hair formed? (Mention the name of the cells and protein and make up hair)
Hair is formed by epidermal cells (root) and becomes keratinized. (Keratinocytes and keratin)
This type of immunity responds quickly but is not specific to one pathogen (the answer "non-specific" is not valid)
Innate immunity
Mention and explain the 3 components of the ecological triad.
Host: An individual who, under natural circumstances, allows the survival or hosting of a causal agent of disease.
Causal agent: It is all power, principle, or substance capable of acting on the organism and will be harmful if its presence triggers a disease.
Environment: It is the totality of physical, chemical, biological, and sociocultural factors that surround an individual or group.
In the upper limb, the wrist is farther from the shoulder than the elbow is. This term describes the wrist in relation to the shoulder
What is the function of neuroglia (glial cells)?
Support and bind neurons, ingest and remove harmful particles or cellular debris
Mention 4 functions of the dermis
Responsible for sensations of pain and touch, sweat and oil production, hair growth, blood transport within the skin, and fighting infections
Mention and explain 3 types of vaccines
Some vaccines contain live attenuated (weakened) viruses. Others are made of killed or inactive organisms, some are made from inactivated toxins, and some contain segments of the pathogen (mRNA).
Mention and explain the stages of Natural History of Disease (including the 5 stages of the second stage)
1. Pre-pathogenic
2. Pathogenic (latency/incubation - clinical horizon - early disease - advanced disease - convalescence)
3. Resolution
Mention at least 4 organs contained in the abdominal cavity
Liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, intestines
Mention the 3 types of muscle and the differences between them.
Cardiac muscle: Found in the heart, involuntary movement, branched and shows striation.
Skeletal muscle:Attach to bones and can be controlled by conscious effort, not branched and shows striation.
Smooth muscle:Forms the walls of hollow internal organs, involuntary movement and do not show striation.
Mention 2 functions of sebum
Lubricates the skin and hair of mammals, has antibacterial properties, and helps reduce water loss in dry environments.
Explain an adaptive immune response
Dendritic cells collect the pathogen residues and search for a complementary T cell which then look for a B cell that produce antibodies.
