Forms of Immunity
100
Microscopic living creatures capable of causing disease.
What are microorganisms?
100
The 5 classifications of infectious agents.
What are: viruses, bacteria, parasite, rickettsia, fungi?
100
Reservoirs.
What are people. equipment, supplies. water, food, animals, insects (vectors)?
100
The body's natural way of responding when invaded by a pathogen or physical trauma.
What is inflammation?
100
This type of immunity is achieved through administration of ready-made antibodies, such as gamma globulin. used to treat or prevent infectious diseases. This immunity is temporary.
What is artificially acquired passive immunity?
200
The six growth requirements for microorganisms.
What are oxygen, lack of/no oxygen, moisture, nutrition, temperature, darkness, time, neutral or slightly alkaline pH?
200
Microorganisms that may be uni-cellular or multi-cellular. Mushrooms and molds, for example.
What are fungi?
200
Specific ways in which microorganisms travel from one place to another.
What is mode of transmission?
200
The type of immunity that is usually involved with attacks against viruses, fungi, organ transplants, or cancer cells.
What is cell-mediated immunity?
200
This immunity results from contracting an infectious agent and experiencing either an acute or subclinical infectious disease. This immunity is usually permanent.
What is naturally acquired active immunity?
300
The science that studies the history, causes, and patterns pf infectious disease.
What is epidemiology?
300
Organisms that live on or in another organism.
What are parasites?
300
Seven factors that make a person a "susceptible host".
What are: Number & type of pathogen, duration & exposure to the pathogen, general physical condition, psychological health status, occupation or lifestyle environment, presence of underlying diseases or conditions, youth or advanced age?
300
Antibody mediated immunity
What is humoral immunity?
300
When antibodies pass to a fetus from the mother providing short-term immunity for the newborn. This immunity is temporary.
What is naturally acquired passive immunity?
400
Pathogen.
What is a microorganism that can cause an infectious disease?
400
Pathogens that require a living cell for reproduction and activity.
What is a virus?
400
Method by which the infectious agent leaves the reservoir.
What is portal of exit?
400
Four phases of immune response.
What are: Recognition of invader, growth of defenses, attack against infection, slowdown of the immune response after death of the infectious agent?
400
Semi-permanent to permanent immunity that is achieved after administration of vaccines.
What is artificially acquired active immunity?
500
They discovered germ theory in the nineteenth century.
Who are Louis Pasteur and Robert Koch?
500
Single-celled microorganisms that live in tissues rather than in the body and are identified by morphology & characteristic shapes.
What are bacteria?
500
The term that means "hospital related infection".
What is nosocomial?
500
A form of non-specific defense- creates a large barrier against many different pathogens.
What is skin?
500
Family of proteins capable of acting as antibodies, thereby protecting individuals from pathogenic microorganisms. They are also antibodies produced by the cells of the immune response system.
What are immunoglobulins?
