EXAM 3 Flashcards
(130 cards)
identify the medications that at higher then endogenous levels will reduce hypersensitivity reactions (i.e. rash, hives, difficulty breathing) because they directly cause immunosuppression.
corticosteroids
identify the term for conditions in which the body produces antibodies against self antigens
autoimmunity
T or F. second and subsequent exposures to antigens for which antibodies have been previously produced, usually cause an increase in circulating IgG antibodies within a matter of hours.
True
T or F. Fenestrated capillaries are present in the intestine and kidney; continues capillaries are present in the liver and spleen as they allow large molecules and cells to exit the circulation.
False
getting sick with measles or chicken pox
natural active immunity
breastfeeding a newborn baby
natural passive immunity
getting a tetanus booster every 10 years
artificial active immunity
skin rash caused by poison ivy
natural active immunity
receiving rabies gamma globulin injection after being exposed to a rabid dog
artificial passive immunity
responds to individual specific antigens
acquired or specific immunity
can cause allergic reactions to specific antigens
acquired or specific immunity
depends on B and T lymphocytes
acquired or specific immunity
present in humans at birth
innate or non-specific immunity
most directly affected by normal aging
acquired or specific immunity
includes the skin and mucous membranes
innate or non-specific immunity
neutrophils and monocytes perform phagocytosis
innate or non-specific immunity
includes complement, interferons, and general inflammation (‘itis”)
innate or non-specific immunity
first type of antibody formed after initial antigen exposure
IgM
antibody present in body secretions
IgA
antibody present in largest quantity in plasma
IgG
specific type of antibody measured by a titer
IgG
antibody elevated with allergies or parasites
IgE
antibody that increases quickly after second exposure to an antigen
IgG
antibody that improves lymphocyte ability to bind antigens
IgD
