answers
-carcinoma Ans✓✓✓ cancer of the epithelial cells
-oma Ans✓✓✓ benign cancer
-sarcoma Ans✓✓✓ cancer of connective tissue
1st intention healing Ans✓✓✓ sutured, minimal amount of skin opening, small
amount of granulation tissue, small scar, resolution-regeneration
2nd intention healing Ans✓✓✓ open healing, large wound, chronic wound, large
area of granular tissue - large scar, repair
abcess Ans✓✓✓ walled off protected purulent exudate
ability to avoid host defense Ans✓✓✓ mutations, capsule, slime layer
Active Immunity Ans✓✓✓ body undergoes immune response and makes B/T
cells and stores memory cells
acute Ans✓✓✓ initial injury, localized
acute inflamation Ans✓✓✓ localized, fever, high level of leukocytes
,adheasion Ans✓✓✓ two areas that should move past one another don't due to
scar tissue formation - gut/intestines
adherence to tissue Ans✓✓✓ pili, fibriae,- does it have theses - if adheres to
tissue can ID better
