Q

Characteristics of Antigen

A

very specific; true. A true antibody is a substance produced by the body and has bivalent receptor sites (two ends) and only formed in response to antigens. A true antibody will have bivalent receptor sites; if incomplete, (only one end) an allergic reaction can occur

25
three types of natural (innate) immunity
racial species individual- interferon
26
A type of natural immunity where a particular race is predisposed to a disease
racial immunity
27
Red Blood Cells are not round but look like a sickle, absence or lack blood
sickle cell anemia
28
distemper non-human disease
species
29
obtained immunity through the natural life process (not born with)
acquired immunity
30
type of immunity- natural life process. The body was actively involved in producing antibodies.
naturally acquired immunity
31
The body was actively involved in producing antibodies. Having a disease and recovering from it since you didn't die from the disease
Naturally acquired Active immunity
32
naturally . The body was not directly involved in producing antibodies
Naturally acquired Passive immunity
33
types of Naturally acquired Passive immunity
colostrum breast milk placental transfer
34
not obtained through the natural life process but by a shot or immunization.
artificially acquired immunity
35
artificially acquired active; given when healthy to build up immunity against the infections Example DPT
vaccine
36
artifically acquired active; poisonous substances that have been modified in the laboratory setting and used to convey immunity by shot or vaccine
toxoids
37
Active immunity _______ than passive immunity, however, it is _________ established. The immunity established would never be formed in the body without _______________
lasts longer more slowly the vaccination
38
a weakened active strain, live or dead (flu shot)
attenuated strain
39
not sure how to make this a card. I don't really know how it goes with the artificially acquired active
Live or dead microorganisms, extracts (PPD) - purified protein derivative, the TB skin test
40
Conveyed by artificial means instantaneously through a pre-formed antibody. Last the shortest time -7- 10 days
artificially acquired passive immunity
41
examples of artificially acquired passive immunity
immune serum, antiserum, gamma globulin.
42
level of controls of microrganisms
sterilization disinfection antisepsis
43
process of completely removing and destroying ALL LIFE FORMS and their products (endospores and exotoxins) in or on a substance
sterilization
44
the process of destruction of ALL PATHOGENIC organism (infectious agents) from an object through physical or chemical means
disinfection
45
literally means against the presence of microorganisms - the prevention of growth of microorganisms, without necessarily killing them. [By preventing or inhibiting the growth of causative organisms.]
antisepsis
46
the agent to achieve antisepsis. It does not kill a germs but prevents its growth and multiplication
antiseptic
47
physical methods of control of microorganisms
Scrubbing Heat - . (1) Incineration (2) Dry heat - (3) Moist heat ``` Cold temperatures Ultraviolet light (UV) ```
48
The actual mechanical method of moving hands with a soft scrub brush and using a disinfectant soap.
scrubbing
49
most common physical method of control of microorganisms
heat
50
three types of heat methods of control of microorganisms
incineration dry heat moist heat
51
Burning / Flaming as a lab technique.
incineration
52
Convection oven
dry heat
53
three types of moist heat
Boiling - liquid state to gaseous state. Free-flowing steam Steam under pressure: autoclave
54
The best method; chemical or physical to achieve true sterilization
steam under pressure: autoclave
55
Name the constant temperature, standard pressure, and standard exposure time for autoclave
Standard temperature: 121 degrees C – 250 degrees F Standard pressure: 15 lbs. Standard exposure time: 15 minutes *15lbs @ 121 degrees for 15 minutes If constant for temperature, pressure, and time, all forms of life known to man will be killed.
56
_________ will ______ down the rate of decomposition. This is achieved because it __________ moisture.
Refrigeration slow removes
57
means above violet, it is bactericidal, which means it will kill most bacteria. Bacteria, however, will build up an immunity to it
ultra violet light
58
chemical methods to control microrganisms

59
Chemical agents used to disinfect. Substances which rid pathogens on objects.
disinfectants
60
Chemical disinfectant that kills a wide variety of germs or pathogens (microorganisms).

65
Chemical disinfectants used to kill larva of insects.
larvacide
66
Factors influencing the action of disinfectants (8)
(1) Nature of the disinfectant - fit the disinfectant to the problem. (2) Concentration of the disinfectant, as you increase the concentration, you increase the disinfectant’s ability. (3) Nature of the material to be disinfected. (4) Number of microorganisms present. (5) Kind of microorganism present i.e., if a germ uses a germicide. (6) Time of exposure to disinfectant - if you increase exposure time, you will increase the disinfectant’s quality. (7) Temperature of disinfectant during exposure. If you increase the water temperature, the disinfectant will be diluted into, you will increase the effectiveness. (8) pH of disinfectant during exposure.
