Multiple-drug-resistant organisms appeared because of ____ -Overuse of antibiotics can lead to ____, allowing ____ -______ and ____ re-introduce beneficial flora -Individuals commonly do not comply with instructions to complete the 10 days of antibiotics, which allows ____ -New antibiotics are ____ so they need to be take for only __ or ___ (such as ___)
overuse of antibiotics -destruction of the normal flora, the selective overgrowth of the drug-resistant strains of pathogens that were previously kept under control by the normal flora -probiotics and yogurt -the selective resurgence of more resistant organisms -time-released, 3 or 5 days (Z-Pac)
Phagocytes perform ____ which consists of 4 steps: -Phagocytes ___ after phagocytosis
phagocytosis 1. Recognizing the target and adhering to it 2. Engulfing the target: ingestion or endocytosis 3. Fusing with lysosomes inside the phagocyte (Creating vacuoles which contain both the target cell and lysosomes) 4. Destroying the target by lysosomal enzymes -die
An antigen is a ____ -The immune system can distinguish ____(____) from ____(___) proteins -Histocompatibility antigens (MHC, HLA) are proteins which are _____and help the immune system_____ -Foreign antibodies can be ____ or ___ -Infectious antigens: (4) -Noninfectious antigens (7) *The immune system defends against ____*
protein -"self" (self antigens) from "non self" (foreign antigens) -found on almost every cell in the body, distinguish self from non-self -infectious or not -viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites -pollens, foods, venoms (bee), drugs, vaccines, blood transfusion, transplanted tissue *foreign antigens
When resolution is not possible ___ takes place -Repair rather than resolution occurs when: (3) -Regeneration is possible only in tissue that is capable of _____ -____,____ and ___ can regenerate -____,____ and ____ cannot regenerate
repair 1. The destroyed tissue cannot regenerate 2. The damage is extensive (even when tissue can regenerate) 3. Complications are present, for example: infection that results in abscess or granuloma formation (even when tissue can regenerate) -proliferation of the remaining cells -liver, skin, smooth muscle cells -nerves, skeletal muscle, and cardiac muscle cells cannot regenerate
Repair is the ____ -Scar tissue is composed of ____ -___ is the most abundant protein in the body (main protein present in _____ including ___,____,____ and ____) -Collagen is produced by ______ (_____) -During repair, _____ proliferate and increase their _____ -_____ fills the lesion and ____ but cannot ______
replacement of destroyed tissue with scar tissue -collagen -connective tissue, skin, bones, teeth and blood vessels -fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) -fibroblasts, collagen synthesis -scar tissue, restores tensile strength, carry out the physiologic function of the tissue
Vaccines induce immune responses under conditions that ____ -Some individuals cannot produce a protective ______ and will be susceptible to getting ____ -The immune response from vaccination is generally ____ so ____ are mostly necessary to ______
should not result in disease -immune response, full blown infection from the vaccine -short-lived, booster shots, produce large numbers of memory cells and protective antibodies
Depending on the ____ the exudate changes its composition: 1. ______: -present in _____ -exudate is _____ with ____ 2. ______: -Present when _____ -the exudate is ___ and ____ 3. _____: -Present with _____ -The exudate consists of _____ and is characteristic of _____
stage of inflammation 1. Serous exudate -early stage and/or during mild inflammation -watery with few plasma proteins and WBC 2. Fibrinous exudate -inflammation is more severe and advanced -thick and clotted with a large number of proteins and leukocytes 3. Purulent (suppurative exudate): -persistent bacterial infections -pus, walled-off lesions (cysts or abscesses)
When debridement is completed, the inflammatory process ____ -The exudate, toxic products, and other inflammation substances are _____ -Both ____ and ____ are reversed
stops -drained away -vasodilation and increased capillary permeability
Once a microorganism penetrates the first line of defense and invades the tissue _____ is initiated by the host -In the inflammatory response, ____ and later ____,____ (___,____, and ____) the microorganism -The next step is the _____ (____): -2 types of cells
the inflammatory response -neutrophils and later macrophages, phagocytose (attach, engulf, and destroy) -immune response (immunity): 1. B cells (B-lymphocytes) produce antibodies against the infectious microorganisms and/or their toxins 2. T cells (T-lymphocytes) either attack the microorganisms directly or secrete lymphokines to recruit macrophages and other immune components
