WHAT ARE THE 6 COMPONENETS OF THE CHAIN OF INFECTION?: 1)INFECTIOUS AGENT

5)PORTAL OF ENTRY
6)SUSCEPTIBLE HOST
WHAT IS AN INFECTIOUS AGENT?: SOME MICROBIAL AGENT THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO CAUSE DISEASE
WHAT IS A RESERVOIR?: SOURCES OF THE ORGANISM SUCH AS INANIMATE OBJECTS, ANIMALS, OR HUMANS
PEOPLE WHO HARBOR PATHOGENS BUT HAVE NO SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE ARE KNOWN AS_____?: CARRIERS

FOREIGN PROTEINS THAT CAUSE THE FORMATION OF AN ANTIBODY THAT SPECIFICALLY REACTS WITH IT ARE ______?: ANTIGENS
WHAT ARE THE ELEMENTS OF THE NONSPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSE?: SKIN, NORMAL FLORA, MUCOUS MEMBRANES, REFLEX COUGH AND SNEEZES, ELIMINATION, AND AN ACIDIC ENVIRONMENT
NAME 3 CHEMICALS IN THE BODY THAT ARE RELEASED AFTER INITIAL INJURY FOR THE INFLAMMATION PROCESS?: HISTAMINE, BRADYKININ, SEROTONIN
WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE SWELLING OF TISSUES SURROUNDING AN INJURY?: INCREASED CAPILLARY PERMEABILITY( LEAKAGE OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF PLASMA OUT OF THE CAPILLARIES)
WHAT TYPE OF WBC's ENGULF BACTERIA AND NECROTIC TISSUE WHICH EVENTUALLY DIE AND FORM A CAVITY OF NECROTIC TISSUE AND DEAD ______?: LEUKOCYTES
DEFINE THE SPECIFIC IMMUNE DEFENSE?: AN IMMUNE RESPONSE MOUNTED AGAINST A SPECIFIC INVADING ANTIGEN.
WHAT IS THE PRIMARY ROLE OF THE T-LYMPHOCYTE(T-CELL)?: PRODUCED IN RESPONSE TO AN ANTIGEN, THSES CELLS MIGRATE TO THE AREA OF INJURY AND RELEASE LYMPHOKINES THAT ATTRACT OTHER PHAGOCYTES AND LYMPHOCYTES TO THE AREA OF INJURY AND ASSIST IN ANTIGEN DESTRUCTION
WHAT IS THE SECONDARY ROLE OF THE T-CELL?: IT STIMULATES THE PRODUCTION OF B CELLS, WHICH DIFFERENTIATE INTO PLASMA CELLS PRODUCING ANTIBODIES SPECIFIC TO THE ANTIGEN
DESCRIBE HUMORAL IMMUNITY: THE PROCESS OF ANTIBODY PRODUCTION BY B CELLS ON FIRST EXPOSURE TO AN ANTIGEN WHICH TAKES LONGER TO ACHIEVE.
DESCRIBE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY: ONCE EXPOSED TO AN ANTIGEN FOR THE FIRST TIME, B CELLS ARE ACTIVATED AND HUMORAL IMMUNITY IS PRODUCED, THEN MEMORY B CELLS ARE PRODUCED THAT REMEMBER THE ANTIGEN ANTIBODY PRODUCTION IS QUICKER ACTING THE NEXT TIME AROUND
WHAT ARE THE 3 TYPES OF VACCINATION?: 1)INTRODUCTION OF DEAD ORGANISMS THAT ARE NO LONGER CAPABLE OF CAUSING DISEASE, BUT STILL HAVE THEIR CHEMICAL ANTIGENS.
2) INTRODUCTION OF TOXINS THAT HAVE BEEN TREATED WITH CHEMICALS SO THAT THEIR TOXIC NATURE HAS BEEN DESTROYED.
3)INRTODUCTION OF LIVE ORGANISMSTHAT HAVE BEEN RENDERED INCAPABLE OF CAUSING DISEASE.
GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A DEAD ORGANISM VACCINATION?: PERTUSSIS AND DIPTHERIA
GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A CHEMICAL-TREATED TOXIN USED FOR VACCINATION?: TETANUS AND BOTULISM
GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF LIVE ORGANISMS THAT HAVE BEEN RENDERED INCAPABLE OF CAUSING DISEASE?: POLIOMYELITIS AND MEASLES
WHAT ARE THE 4 STAGES OF THE INFECTIOUS PROCESS?: INCUBATION
PRODROMAL
ILLNESS
CONVALESCENT
DURING WHICH STAGE IS THE INFECTED PATIENT MOST INFECTIOUS?: INCUBATION
DESCRIBE THE PRODROMAL STAGE OF INFECTION?: PERIOD OF TIME FROM ONSET OF NONSPECIFIC SYMPTOMS TO ONSET OF SPECIFIC.
