Q

blood clotting process

A

1)- have platelets that clump together on cut and form plug to stop blood from escaping

2)- platelets release thromboplastin

3)- the thromboplastin is transformed and turns to fibrinogen

4)- fibrin threads wrap around injury to trap more platelets that form a clot

Q

what is fibrinogens job

A

they’re made from thromboplastin and fibriogen help form mesh like structure which is called the fibrin strands

and help form plateltes to creat clot

Q

how does leukemia start to develop

A

caused by changes of mutations in the DNA of developing blood cells

the dna is like a set of instructions and if one things is messed up can lead to leukemia or high levels of some chemicals

24
how does anemia develop
iorn deficiency, vitamin defiviency and from hemorage
25
what is hemophilia
excessive blood loss bc system cant clot so more blood loss and platlets cant clot
26
what is circulatory shock
comes with fall of blood pressure so imbalance of o2 and nutriants
27
how circulatory shock developed
blood loss, sever burns, bacterial infection, - vasodillation to large point so low blood pressure
28
what is thrombus
blood clot that blocks blood vessel so blood cant pass then tissue becomes deprived o2
29
what is embolus
when blood clot breaks away from where its formed and moves through blood vessel - then gets stuck somewhere creating blockage starts backflow
30
whats type of antigens and antibodies does type A make
antigens it has - A antibodies it has - B (type a tries to kill b)
31
whats type of antigens and antibodies does type AB make
antigens it has- it makes a and b antigens antibodies it has - no antibodies (no army wanting to attack any one)
31
whats type of antigens and antibodies does type B make
antigens it has - B antibodies it has- A (type B tries to kill a)
32
whats type of antigens and antibodies does type O make
antigens it has- no antigens antibodies it has- makes A and B antibodies tries to kill both of them
33
what do antigens do
act as signals or flags that help notify when something cant be there
34
what do antibodies do
when antigens alert what cant be there then antibodies go and try to find invaider to kill (army)
35
universal donor
O it can give to all blood types because it makes no antigens on it
36
universal recipient
AB can take / get from any type of blood
37
what does rh negative mean
no antigens makes antibodies
38
what does rh positive mean
makes antigens no antibodies
39
what does being immue stand for
the body can fight of the infections or pathogens
40
what does pathogens stand for
organism causing disease
41
what can viruses do to body once they get in cells
they can contain dna once they break into cells and then manipulate the dna
42
do bacterias have nucleus
no and are mostly only single cells
43
what type of medication helps limit growth or destroy orgainsms that are living
antibiotics
44
what can antibiotics not fight against
virues
45
what are vectors and how do they spread infections
its when bugs or bug bites spread disease ect
46
what are vehiculur and how do they spread infections
contaminated food or water that spread disease
47
what is the lytic cycle
death of cells
48
what is the lysigenic cycle
taskes cells functions away then manipulate it
49
what is the oncogenic cycle
can result in cancer happens from not making nutrients supposed to form so it forms tumor
50
what is HIV
immue cells that have the antigens constantly change so its unidentifiable
51
what is the first line of defense
its the barriers ex the eyelashes skin ect - includes skin, respitory tract, stomach
52
what does the first line of defense do skin
helps from bacteria and pathogens form entering and has lysomoes that help break the bacteria walls
53
what does the first line of defense do respitory tract
it helps filter and sweep out the bacteria ftom respitory system with hairlike structure called cilia (activates sneezing) - mucles help trap bacteria
54
what does the first line of the defense do stomach
has corrosicve acids (very acidic) and destroys microbes and good bacteria in stomach out does bad
55
what is the 2nd line of defense include
the phagocytosis the eating / engulfing of the microbes or bactiera after surrounding it to kill it in body
56
what are the 2 types of white blood cells in phagocytois
macrophages and neutrophils
57
what do macrophages do / how created
they're created from monocytes (special white blood cells) and go from blood tissue and turn into big eaters which are macrophages - they're mainly in tissues and have arms (pseudopods) that grab on the bacteria to eat
58
what do neutrophils do / how created
theyre atracted to signals from damaged cells and are in capillaries but go to tissues to engulf and eat microbes - then after they release lysosomal enzymes that help break down microbes eaten
59
what does pus represent
dead white blood cells or microbe / protein fragments
60
how are fevers made / created
they're created when macrophages / neutrophils eat invaiders and realse chemicals that increase body temp
61
what are the complementary proteins 3 types (globuilns)
type a type b type c
62
what does the globuiln type a do (complementary protein)
coats microbe and prevent germ from reproducing
63
what does the globuiln type b do (complementary protein)
dissolves microbes membrane attacks microbes and puncture it
64
what does the globuiln type c do (complementary protein)
attrack specific phagocytes and leukocytes
65
what is step 1 of the third line of defence
complementary proteins (gloubins)
66
what is another step of the third line of defence
identifying antigens (markers on surfaces) to see what it is then automatically makes and antibodies made from b cells
67
what is the other step of the third line of defense
the types fo lymphocytes helper t help activate b cells and killer t cells
68
what are the types of t cells and what do they do
t-cells : made in bone marrow stored in thymus gland helper t- most important, inisuate response read antigens shape then call b cells and killer t killer t- directly kill pathogens and infected cells supressor t - help shut down killer t cells so dont kill good cells
69
what are the 2 b cell types
b-cells- produce antibodies receive signal form T cells (when antibodies attach to antigens makes easier for macrophages to eat) memory b cells- remember intruder and act easily next time it enters
70
what do macrophages activate
once macrophages engulf they display those antigens and then activate helper t
71
what do the assisting chemicals interferons do
signal responce to let out more host cells to fight and act as army and are like alarms
72
what do the assisting chemicals lymphokine do
are like the messangers they send messages from t cells and b cells to make sure all working together
73
summary steps of the immune system
- invaider comes in - macrophages eats and then displays the antigen on the outside of it - helper t activated then calls b cell and killer t b cells produce antibodies that attach to antigens so phagocytes can eat better and killer t cells search and destroy - supressor t helps shut the killer t so doesnt kill good - memory b remembers the invaider so can easily fight again
74
fourth line of defence
medicine
75
what do vaccinations do
it activates the immune system without giving disease then body recognizes what it might have to fight in future (like training session before actually getting disease)
76
what do antibiotics do
targets specific living bacteria and not effective for vital things like the flu or cold
77
symtom treatment meaning
when medicine cant treat germs they use those to help treat with symtoms to make it easier to live with
78
why do people get allergys
cells think theyre in danger and so they release bradykinin that makes eyes water ect - capillary permibility increases walls more open vasodilliate
79
how to deal with severe allergy (anaphylaxis)
epinephrine- injects chemical that narrows blood vessel opens airway to lungs
80
how to deal with minor allergy
with a cream or oral antinstamines it triggers reaction of rashes ect tp help stop reaction from occuring (just take before coming in contact)
81
whats rheumatoid arthiritis
its immune response against body joints
82
whats rheumatic fever
inflamatory responce to body starts attacking connective tissue and then could shut down heart
83
whats typel diabetes
its glucose build up in the bloodstream with little or no inslin in blood stream
84
whats multiple sclerosis
t cells inticate a attack on signals to nervous system (myelin) leads to memory loss
85
why are some organs for transplants rejected
because the antigens on it are not simlar to what your body already has - if rejected killer t could attack it so thats why people take immunosuppresents so killer t dont attack
