Response To Infection
An inflammatory response caused by leaky capillaries
What is swelling?
These cells are one of the first responders of inflammatory cells to migrate towards the site of inflammation
What are neutrophils?
What health condition results in decreased bone density?
What is osteoporosis?
What is the work to rest ratio to maintain optimum health?
What is 1:1
Pyrogens induce fever by acting on this part of the brain
What is the hypothalamus
The Skin, fat content, nose hairs, and stomach acid are all examples of what type of response to pathogens?
What is a Non-specific response?
This cytokine is involved in systemic inflammation and is one of the cytokines that make up the acute phase reaction.
What is Tumor Necrosis Factor?
What health condition can cause a “global inflammatory response” which can reduce the body’s ability to fight infections?
What is obesity?
What is the recommended amount of sleep for immune health?
What is 7-8 hours
Why are runners/aerobic exercisers more susceptible to URTIs?
What is having to breathe through their mouths and nothing having the protective aspects of mucus and hair found in the nose
Cascade that enhances the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism that is part of the innate immune system?
What is the complement system?
These cells induce fever by acting on the preoptic area of the hypothalamus to raise the set-point to the hypothalamic thermostat
What are Pyrogens?
There is convincing evidence that there is a decreased risk of this type of cancer when partaking in moderate exercise
What is colon cancer?
These individuals can have the following factors such as heavy exercise, long-haul travel, life stress, and sleep disruption that can lower immunity.
What are athletes?
These athletes are at higher risk of URTI than the control group
what is marathon runners
This response increases transport of leukocytes, antibodies, and clotting agents. There is an increase in readiness, heat, swelling, and pain in the area.
What is the inflammatory response
These cells do not require activation to kill cells that are missing “self” markers of MHC class
What are Natural Killer cells?
Moderate exercise is related to a decreased incidence of what type of infection?
What is bacterial?
The size increments in volume and intensity should be done by what percentage per week to maintain immune health?
What is 5-10%
Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils are all under which main type of cell?
What are leukocytes?
These chemical messengers are important in cell signaling and effect the behaviour of other cells in the immune response.
What are cytokines?
Which cells are receptor specific and create antibodies to combat antigens?
Lymphocyte B&T cells
Moderate exercise may reduce the incidence of acquiring this type of infection, while excessive exercise may increase the risk of acquiring this infection.
What is Upper Respiratory Tract Infection
What vitamin is recommended to take between autumn and spring? How much should you take?
What is 1000IU vitamin D3 per day
What precursor to lymphocytes are produced via the piezo-electric mechanisms for bone-growth?
What are common lymphoid progenitors (CLPs)-500
