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
