A+ GRADED HIGHLY RECOMMENDED|100%
CORRECT!!
immunization (vaccination) - (answers)injecting antigen to cause immunity by
inducing a protective immune response against specific organism or its associated
toxin prior to the encounter with the pathogen
immunology - (answers)study of host rxns when foreign substances are
introduced
serology - (answers)study of noncellular components in the blood (ag/ab)
antigen (immunogen) (ag) - (answers)"foreign" substance that stimulates the
generation of an immune response. ags can be harmful or harmless
environmental substances
antibody (immunoglobulin) (ab) - (answers)glycoprotein; made in response to ag
epitope - (answers)ab binding site; single ag site
immunity - (answers)increased resistance to infection which often follows
recovery from an initial exposure
, 2
immunological homeostasis - (answers)confers health by responding and
controlling infection with moderation
innate/natural immunity - (answers)nonspecific; protection always present in
healthy individuals; normal body fxns; first line of defense
ag nonspecific, rapid response (minutes), and no memory (splinter story) -
(answers)what are the characteristics of natural/innate immunity?
adaptive/acquired immunity - (answers)specific; induced/stimulated by non self
foreign substances that invade tissue or against infected cells and tumors; defend
against specific invaders thus protection result of prior experience with ag;
mediated by lymphocytes
ag specific, slow response (days), and memory - (answers)what are the
characteristics of adaptive/acquired immunity?
epithelial barriers, phagocytes, and inflammation - (answers)what are some
examples of innate/natural immunity in the body?
humoral immunity and cell mediated immunity - (answers)what are the types of
adaptive/acquired immunity?
, 3
humoral immunity - (answers)which adaptive/acquired immunity is mediated by
abs produced by B lymphs-> secreted into circulation/mucosal fluids ->finally
neutralize and eliminate extracellular microbes/microbial toxins?
cell mediated immunity - (answers)which adaptive/acquired immunity is
mediated by T lymphs and products in which some T lymphs produce substances
to activate phagocytes and destroy intracellular microbes and kill host cells
harboring intracellular microbes?
active and/or passive - (answers)what are two ways adaptive/acquired immunity
is induced?
active - (answers)which stimulated pathway in adaptive/acquired immunity
involves abs made by the host, infection or vaccination, and induces long lived
resistance?
EX: use of vaccines against HVB, measles, polio, etc.
passive - (answers)which stimulated pathway in adaptive/acquired immunity
involves abs made externally by another or conferred by transfer of abs from an
actively immunized individual or animal; rapidly confers immunity but short lived?
EX: newborn protected by acquiring abs from mother's placenta and milk
acute phase reactants - (answers)serum constituents made in the liver;
nonspecific rapid first defense
