Pathophysiology Exam 2 Immune
Disorders (NSU nursing) Test
Questions Fully Solved.
Innate immunity - Answer The following type of immunity is characterized as the body's first
line of defense and responds rapid and generalized and similar with each exposure:
Adaptive immunity - Answer The following type of immunity is characterized as a delayed
response upon first exposure with the consequent exposure being immediate. Displays
immunologic memory.
Cytokines - Answer How does innate and adaptive immunity primarily communicate?
B-lymphocytes also known as plasma cells when they grow up. - Answer What is a humoral
immune response?
CD4 - Answer The following is characterized as a cluster of differentiation that is responsible
for activating and recruiting other cells in the immune system:
CD8 - Answer The following is characterized as a cluster of differentiation that destroys any
threat to the integrity of the cell. They are also very good at killing viruses and intracellular
bacteria :
Hypersensitivity - Answer The following term is defined as an abnormal and excessive
response of the activated immune system that causes injury and damage to host tissues :
Type 1 Immediate Hypersensitivity. - Answer Which type of hypersensitivity is described as
an igE mediated reaction that develop rapidly upon exposures to an antigen?
Also classified as a classic allergic response
Types of Hypersensitivity disorders - Answer What does the mneumonic A.C.I.D refer to?
A- Allergic or Anaphylaxis
C- Cytotoxic
I-Immune complex deposition (Antigen-Antibody)
D- Delayed Response - Answer Describe each letter of the acronym A.C.I.D
, Asthma, Anaphylaxis, Hives - Answer What are some examples of Type I hypersensitivity?
Atopic Reaction - Answer This type I Hypersensitivity Disorder comes with a heredity
predisposition and produces a local reaction to IgE antibodies :
Systemic Reactions - Answer This type I Hypersensitivity Disorder lacks the genetic
component and organ specificity of the atopic disorders :
Primary or Initial-phase - Answer This phase in the Type I Hypersensitivity reaction is
characterized by vasodilation, vascular leakage, and smooth muscle contraction :
Secondary or Late-Phase - Answer This phase in the Type I Hypersensitivity reaction is
characterized by more intense infiltration of tissues with eosinophils and chronic inflammatory
cells(Mast Cells)
Anaphylatic (systemic) - Answer If a patient presents symptoms such as vasodilation,
hypotension, arterial hypoxia and airway edema what type Hypersensitivity reaction is
suspected?
Hives, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis - Answer What are some examples of Atopic
Reactions?
Type II Hypersensitivity. - Answer Which type of hypersensitivity is described as an antibody-
mediated hypersensitivity or cytotoxic reaction which are mediated by IgG or IgM antibodies?
Antigens may be either intrinsic (part of the host cell) or Extrinsic (Incorporated into the cell
surface upon exposure to a foreign substance or infectious agent. - Answer What are two
ways that a Type II Antibody-Mediated Disorder can occur?
Mismatched blood transfusion, Hemolytic Disease of the newborn, certain drug reactions -
Answer What are examples of an Type II response?
Type III - Answer Which type of Hypersensitivity is characterized with the formation of
antigen-antibody complexes in the bloodstream which are later deposited in the vascular
epithelium or extra-vascular tissues?
Basically in type III the antibody-antigen complexes (think of like clusters) are formed first in the
plasma and then travel where they can deposit to any end organ where the damage will occur.
