Define: Characterized by the more rapid production of a larger amount of antibody compared with the primary response. The rapidity is the result of memory cells that require less further differentiation. IgM may be transiently produced in the secondary response, but IgG production is increased considerably making it the predominant antibody class. Natural infection (e.g., rubella) may result in measurable levels of protective IgG for the life of the individual. Some vaccines (e.g., polio) also may produce extremely long-lived protection, although most vaccines require boosters at specified intervals.

After approximately 5 to 7 days, IgM antibody is detected in the circulation. The quantity of IgG may be about equal to or less than the amount of IgM. If no further exposure to the antigen occurs, the circulating antibody is catabolized (broken down) and titers fall. The individual's immune system, however, has been primed.

Dead brain tissue is readily subjected to ^ because brain cells are rich in digestive hydrolytic enzymes and lipids and the brain contains little connective tissue. Cells are digested by their own hydrolases as the tissue becomes soft and liquefied. In response, cysts form segregating this material from healthy tissue. Often triggered by bacterial infection, especially staphylococci, streptococci, and Escherichia coli.

Lipases break down triglycerides, releasing free fatty acids. The fatty acids combine with calcium, magnesium, and sodium ions creating soaps, a process known as saponification. The necrotic tissue formed appears opaque and chalky white.

__________ tissue binds various tissues and organs together.

epithelial

__________ tissue lines the body, protects, absorbs, transports and secretes.

intentional

___________ injuries- on purpose. murder, suicide. Ranks in between 2-4th leading cause of death for people ages 1-34)

coagulative

___________ necrosis occurs as a result of protein denaturation, where albumin is transformed from a gelatinous, transparent state into a firm, opaque substance. The area is called an infarct.

pathogenesis

____________ of AIDS Starts as a viral infection. HIV impairs the body's immune system by destroying/ altering the function of CD4+ T cells (responsible for the development of plasma cells and cytotoxic cells). As a result, the body's ability to develop immune responses to pathogens and opportunistic microorganisms is depressed and AIDS is developed. It is notoriously a Retrovirus, meaning the virus inserts a copy of its RNA genome in a cell and changes the genome of the cell. HIV/AIDS is just like any virus except that it uses reverse transcriptase to rapidly replicate itself within a host's cell.

opportunistic infections

_____________ __________ happen when the normal flora is damaged or decreased by use of broad spectrum antibiotics. The normal flora is antibacterial and prevents colonization by pathogenic microorganisms. When the normal flora is decreased, so is its protective activity, and this can lead to an overgrowth of pathogenic microorganisms

unintentional

_____________ injuries- accidental. car accidents, drowning, medical errors. Leading cause of death for people ages 1-34.

neuroendocrine stress response

______________ ______ ________: Initiation: Stress → hypothalamus → corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) CRH → sympathetic nervous system → Epinephrine and Norepinephrine (Catecholamines) CRH → Anterior pituitary → Adrenocorticotropic releasing hormone (ACTH) ACTH → Adrenal glands → Cortisol Resolution: Adaptation through stabilizing the body and returning it to homeostasis Exhaustion: Body cannot be returned to homeostasis, causing stress related disorder

norepinephrine, epinephrine

chronic stress-induced release of ______________ and ___________ may cause: plaque formation in blood vessels myocardial infarction (heart-attack), stroke "sickness syndrome" autoimmune disorders

cortisol

chronic, abnormal elevations of ________ may cause: obesity, sleep deprivation, lipid abnormalities, hypertension, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and loss of bone density as well as cognitive impairments, emotional disorders, and gastric ulcers

anabolism

energy-using process of metabolism is called _________

helminths

hookworm, roundworm, flukes, tapeworms are examples of _________

antibiotic resistant diseases

implications of __________ _________ ________ such as tuberculosis and gonorrhea The lack of compliance from patients to complete an antibiotic regimen, overuse of antibiotics by patients, and the use of antibiotics in the meat industry can contribute to the selective resurgence and overgrowth of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. Antibiotic resistance to a single antibiotic has rapidly progressed to multiple-antibiotic resistance. In the case of gonorrhea, the enzyme that the AB is supposed to target has been altered, making the AB ineffective against the bacteria.

oxidative, ER, heat shock response, DNA damage response, mental, inflammation, osmotic

list major mechanisms of cell stress from chemical agents.

catabolism

the energy-releasing process of metabolism is known as __________
