Microbiology- Test 1

Front 1

Why Study immunology?

Back 1

1.) Infectious Diseases
2.) Mechanisms of pathogenicity
- Virulence factors
3.) Vaccine development

Front 2

What are the diseases that are caused by a disturbed immune system?

Back 2

1.) Allergy
2.) Autoimmunity

Front 3

The immune response to innocuous materials (allergens).

ex.) Asthma

Back 3

Allergy

Front 4

Immune responses to transplanted tissue.

Back 4

Graft Junction

Front 5

What is the definition of Immunodeficiency?

Back 5

Defects in immune responses

Ex.) CMI, T-Cells, B-Cells, Complement, and phagocyte deficiencies.

Front 6

What are 2 manipulations of immunity to treat disease?

Back 6

1.) Immunosuppression: Treatment of immune diseases

2.) Immunoregulation: Immunotherapeutic interventions

Front 7

1.) 1st line of Defense
2.) 2nd line of Defense
3.) 3rd line of Defense

a.) Cellular and humoral defenses (innate)
b.) Skin & Mucous membranes
c.) Cellular and humoral defenses (acquired)

Back 7

1.) b
2.) a
3.) c

*the cold virus can escalade to pneumonia because it inhibits the actions of the 1st line of Defense (rapidly regenerating surfaces, peristaltic movement, mucociliary escalator, etc.)

Front 8

Anatomical defenses, inflammation, fever, and phagocytic barriers are involved in what type of immunity?

Back 8

Innate (natural) immunity: Inbuilt immunity to resist infection.

Front 9

Specificty, Tolerance, and Memory are involved in what type of immunity?

Back 9

Acquired (adaptive) immunity: Immunity established to adapt to infection.

Front 10

Cells, proteins and supporting systems that kill or inactivate invaders (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa), reacts to chemicals and allergens, and monitor ever cell in the body for cancer.

Back 10

The immune system

Front 11

What are the advantages to the Immune system?

Back 11

1.) Kills Bacteria
2.) Kills cells infected w/ bacteria or viruses
3.) Inactivates or destroys viruses
4.) Inactivates or destroys toxins, kills cancer cells

Front 12

What are the disadvantages to the Immune system?

Back 12

1.) Contributes to allergies
2.) Rejects transplanted tissues
3.) Sometimes mistakenly attacks itself, Autoimmune diseases

Front 13

T or F. An antigen is a substance that illicits an immune response and can be of any size.

Back 13

False. The substance has to be greater than 10,000 MW in order to be am antigen.

Front 14

What is an important aspect to a vaccine?

Back 14

The immune system detects antigens regardless of its source.

Front 15

What are the components of a microbe that are antigen?

Back 15

Proteins, cell membrane, cell wall, and envelope.
