Exposure to s disease causing organism results in which type of immunity?

Artificial passive

Describe how the body achieves active immunity to a particular disease.

It's either exposed to it if it's from a vaccine that has killed or weakened organisms.

Patient experiences fever and itchy rash

Measles

How does resident normal flora protect the body against pathogens?

Microorganism found in the body to help create a barrier against pathogens

Patient has fever, sore throat, swollen lymph nodes, and occasionally spleen and liver involvement

Mono

Which of the following are phagocytes that are formed in bone marrow and circulate throughout the blood for a short period of time

Monocytes

What are monocytes and how do they protect the body?

Monocytes are a type of phagocyte that's formed in bone marrow and circulates throughout the blood for a very short time

Patient has fever and painful swelling near back if the jaw

Mumps

The condition of being resistant to pathogens and the diseases they cause is called

Immunity

The chain of infection consists of an

Infectious agent, reservoir host, mode of transmission, portal of entry

What are the 5 means by which pathogens may be transmitted?

Intercourse, blood, fluids, saliva, and mucus.

How does cell-mediated immunity function to protect the body?

It directly attacks the infection.

What are 4 ways microorganisms can damage the body?

1. Depleting nutrients needed by the cells 2. Reproducing within body cells 3. Making body cells the target of the body's defense 4. Produce toxins or poisons that damage the body

What are the CDC's 4 strategies for reducing the incidence of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms?

1. Prevent infection 2. Diagnose and treat infection correctly 3. Use antibiotics carefully 4. Prevent transmission of disease

A reservoir host who is unaware of the presence of a pathogen and therefore spreads disease is called

A carrier

A microorganism's disease-producing power is called

A pathogen

An animal, insect, or human whose body is capable of sustaining the growth of a pathogen is know as

A reservoir host

Administration of a immunization or a vaccine results in which type of immunity?

Artificial active

Cells that produce antibodies are called

Antigens

Patient has fluid-filled blisters that began as a itchy rash of tiny red bumps.

Chickenpox

List easy to contain TB bacteria at their source and prevent their entrance into another host.

Construct people how to properly wash there hands, how to cover there mouth correctly when sneezing, coughing, laughing, etc., also make sure they are taking the medicines as direct by the doctor.

Patient has a harsh, barking cough, with difficulty breathing, hoarseness, and a low-grade fever.

Croup

The process by which phagocytes destroy pathogens is know as

Engulfment

An insect that carries microorganisms from one infected person to another is

Fomite

Beneficial microorganisms found in the body that help create a barrier against pathogens are

Resident normal flora

Patient experiences the symptoms of strep throat, as well as nausea and vomiting, and has finely bright-red spots on trunk, neck, face, and extremities

Streptococcal pharyngitis

And infection in a reservoir host in which an abnormality or malfunction in routine body process has caused normally beneficial or harmless microorganisms to become pathogenic is called an

Subclinical case
