NURS 3366 Week 4 & 5: Mechanisms of Defense &
Alterations: Inflammation and Immune Function (updated)
active acquired immunity Correct Answers a form of immunity
where the body makes antibodies against a particular disease
advantage of passive immunity Correct Answers - immediate
protection if microbes have invaded
Anaphylaxis Correct Answers Severe allergic reaction
angioedema Correct Answers abnormal vasodilation and
edema of small blood vessels (usually hands and lips)
artificial active acquired immunity Correct Answers when a
person's plasma cells build up antibodies by receiving tiny
amounts or inactive microbe inoculation (vaccinations)
artificial passive acquired immunity Correct Answers
antibodies are injected during treatment, usually in emergencies
or as a stop gap until active immunity can develop (tetanus
immunoglobulin (TIG))
b-cell types Correct Answers 1. B-cells
2. Plasma cells: make antibodies
3. Memory B cells
b-lymphocytes MOA (aka B cells) Correct Answers
differentiate into plasma cells that create antibodies that will
now remember the microbe
,benefits of "protective" prostaglandins? Correct Answers -
Groggy Infants Visualized Puffy Roses
- maintain the integrity of the GASTRIC mucosa
- have normal PLATELET clotting function
- promote healthy RENAL functioning
- maintain normal IMMUNOCYTE function
- maintain appropriate VASOMOTOR tone
booster shots Correct Answers periodic immunizations to
stimulate immune memory to maintain a high level of protection
breast milk antibodies Correct Answers some MatAbs can
transfer through feeding but disintegrates after feeding stops
carina Correct Answers Point at which the trachea bifurcates
(divides) into the left and right mainstem bronchi.
classifying immunodeficiencies Correct Answers by MOA
- humoral (B-cell) immunodeficiency
- cell mediated (T cell) immunodeficiency
- both humoral and cell mediated
by mode of contraction
- congenital
-acquired
components (steps) of the inflammatory response Correct
Answers 1. injury stimulates "leakiness" of the cells in 3 ways
2. neutrophils in the blood and macrophages in the tissue eat
debris, microbes, and dying tissue
, 3. if bacteria, viruses, or microbes have invaded, the
macrophages will need to call for help from the 3rd line of
defense (lymphocytes)
4. clotting factors, platelets, and fibrin come together and forms
granulating tissue
components of the arachidonic pathway (REVIEW FURTHER)
Correct Answers 1. Phospholipases catalyze the creation of
arachidonic acid from the phospholipids of the cell membrane
2. arachidonic acid created from the breakdown of membranes
3. creates leukotrienes and prostaglandins
con of anti inflammatory medications? Correct Answers
suppression of the "protective" prostaglandins or
proinflammatory prostaglandins (ideally we would only target
proinflammatory prostaglandins)
Cons of fever Correct Answers - dilates blood vessels which
can cause low BP
- fever increases metabolic rate which can be bad for the elderly,
young, or immunosuppressed
Describe histocompatibility issues Correct Answers Almost all
body cell membranes have "self antigens" composed of protein;
called histocompatibility antigens and are commonly known as
HLAs- human leukocyte antigens. HLA's are found on the cell
membrane of most body cells except RBSs, and are important in
certain patient situations such as transplants.
