Conclusion Questions
Conclusion Questions
100
An antigen-binding immunoglobulin, produced by B cells, that functions as the effector in an immune response.
What is Antibody?
100
A method for the differential staining of bacteria that involves fixing the bacterial cells to a slide and staining with crystal violet and iodine, then washing with alcohol, and counterstaining with safranin. Results in gram-positive bacteria retaining the purple dye and gram-negative organisms having it decolorized so that the red counterstain shows up.
What is Gram Stain
100
The immune system made up of?
What is cells, organs and tissue that protects the body
100
What happens immediately after an antigen (invader enters the body)
What is trigger the B lymphocytes to produce antibodies that lock onto specific agents
100
How could a breakdown of the immune system have lead to Anna's untimely death?
What is her immune system breaking down, it would be more difficult for her body to fight infections and illnesses causing her untimely death.
200
A type of lymphocyte that develops in the bone marrow and later produces antibodies.
What is B Lymphocyte (B Cell)
200
A procedure performed under sterile conditions
What is Aseptic Technique
200
Two basic type of white blood cells?
What is phagocytes and Lymphocytes
200
What happens when antibodies are produced?
What is the antibodies stay in the body so that if the immune system encounters the antigen again the antibodies are ready
200
How can an unknown sample of bacteria be identified?
What is streaking for isolations, determining gram stain whether positive or negative, and bacteria shape
300
A branch of biology dealing especially with microscopic forms of life (as bacteria, protozoans, viruses, and fungi).
What is Microbiology
300
A condition of being able to resist a particular disease, especially through preventing development of a pathogenic microorganism or by counteracting the effects of its products.
What is Immunity
300
White blood cells can be found where?
What is Bone Marrow
300
An example of both non-specific and specific defense in the body. Pick an invader or injury and describe how the body may respond.
What is Specific--If you were stung by a bee, the immune system would target the foreign antigen injected by the sting and destroy it. Non-specific-- a fever making a virus unable to reproduce.
300
Why was it necessary to complete the gram stain in order to determine the bacterial species infecting Anna?
What is Gram stains determine if bacteria are presents and whether they are positive or negative which are identifying factors
400
Any of various infectious proteins that are abnormal forms of normal cellular proteins, that proliferate by inducing the normal protein to convert to the abnormal form, and that in mammals include pathogenic forms.
What is Prion
400
Any of a large group of submicroscopic infective agents that typically contain a protein coat surrounding an RNA or DNA core of genetic material but no semipermeable membrane, that are capable of growth and multiplication only in living cells, and that cause various important diseases in humans, animals, or plants
What is Virus
400
Lymph nodes do what job?
What is work like filters to remove germs that make you sick
400
What events took place in Anna's immune system when invaded by the S. marcescens? Be specific in you response.
What is the infection was able to cause Anna to have a urinary infection as indicated by the urinalysis test results.
400
How do biochemical tests help identify an unknown bacterial species?
What is they determine what the bacteria grows on and what their waste is
500
A type of lymphocyte responsible for cell-mediated immunity that differentiates under the influence of the thymus.
What is T Lymphocyte (T Cells)
500
The state produced by the establishment of an infective agent in or on a suitable host.
What is Infection
500
Two types of lymphocytes? And what are their functions?
What is B and T lymphocytes; B lymphocytes seek out invaders and block them out, while T lymphocytes destroys the invaders the B lymphocytes have identified
500
Reflect on all of the illnesses Anna Garcia experienced. Did any of her illnesses result in a breakdown of her body's ability to protect? Explain.
What is Anna had sickle cell anemia, diabetes, heart disease, and hypercholesterolemia which each contributed to the breakdown in her body's immune system.
500
What steps does the immune system take to protect the human body from foreign invaders?
What is First they recognize antigens; then produce macrophages and T lymphocytes; then generate responses to viral invasions; finally they will make antibodies and produce natural killer cells
