Term
Infectious disease vs. Noninfectious disease?
Definition
infectious disease cauesd by pathogen. Noninfectious disease due to metabolic disturbance.
Term
study of cause of disease

Pathogenesis
Term
related to tumors
Definition
neoplasic
Term
caused by health care professional
Definition
iatrogenic
Term
caused by health care professional
Definition
iatrogenic
Term
contact directly from another person, from kissing, handshake etc
Definition
Horizontal contact
Term
acquire disease from egg, sperm, across placenta, during gestation or birth
Definition
vertical contact
Term
what aids bacteria is spreading disease because it prevents WBC from getting close
Definition
capsules
Term
only rods and spirals can have...
Definition
flagella (not cocci)
Term
only rods and spirals can have...
Definition
flagella (not cocci)
Term
spreading factor, makes tissue more permeable to invasion by bacteria?
Definition
hyaluronidase
Term
coagulase vs. streptokinase
Definition
coagulase- causes blood to clot, streptokinase- causes blood clot to break down
Term
Endotoxins are almost exclusively?
Definition
gram negative
Term
Chemical composition of endotoxin and exotoxin?
Definition
endotoxin- lipopolysaccharide,
exotoxin- protein
Term
Immunity: circulating,antibodies dissolved in blood plasma or lymph fluid; antibodies are produced by B cells
Definition
Humoral immune system
Term
Immunity: fixed, T cells produce antibody like molecules that attach to cell surface
Definition
cell mediated immune system
Term
arises from an exposure to antigens ofen follows a disease
Definition
naturally acquired active immunity
Term
stems from the passage of IgG across lacenta from the maternal to fetal circulation
Definition
Naturally acquired passive immunity
Term
results from an incoulation of toxoid or vaccine
Definition
artifically acquired active immunity
Term
induced by an injection of antibodies taken from the circulation of another person
Definition
artificially acquired passive immunity
Term
very large protein, with 2 determinant groups
Definition
antigen
Term
reaction involves antigens that are dissolved in blood (soluble antigens)
Definition
precipitation reaction (test for Diphtheria)
Term
reaction in which antigens are attached to cells
Definition
agglutination, used in blood typing
Term
what happens when you give a patient an antitoxin, antibody latches on to toxin itself and neutralizes
Definition
neutralization
Term
antibodies attach themselves to bacteria and opsonins are chemicals that attract WBCs
Definition
opsonization
Term
WBC saddles up next to foreign object and adheres itself to its surface, then sends membrane around and engulfs it, lastly secretes phaglysozome
Definition
phagocytosis
Term
excessive number of WBC
Definition
leukocytosis
Term
less than number WBC count
Definition
leukopenia
Term
if you inject a vaccine into a patient, thier body produces an antibody to just that
Definition
Viral Inhibition
Term
antigens that cause allergic response
Definition
allergen
Term
pacman of blood, major task is phagocytosis, make up 70-80% of leukocytes
Definition
neutrophils
Term
involves B cells, death can occur in 3 minutes upon injection of antigen (bee sting, food allergy)

anaphylaxis
Term
cells are killed immediately, involves B cells
Definition
cytotoxic
Term
occurs when individual already has a high number of antibodies in their system
Definition
immune complex syndrome
Term
this reaction is not antibody mediated, 2-3 days to develop and T cells are involved
Definition
cell mediated reaction
