Inflammation, Immune Response, And Healing Ch 1

Front 1

3 Types of Infectious Organisms

Back 1

1. Bacteria
2. Virus
3. Fungus

Front 2

Bacteria

Back 2

-Prokaryotic (lack DNA in nucleus)
-Can be rod, round, or spiral
-Can reproduce in 20 minutes
-Can reproduce outside of host

Front 3

Examples of Bacterial Infections

Back 3

1. Pneumonia
2. Skin Infections
3. Joint Infections
4. Urinary Tract Infections

Front 4

Treatment of Bacterial Infections

Back 4

-Antibiotics

Front 5

Virus

Back 5

-Small infectious agent
-Eukaryotic (has nucleus with DNA and RNA)
-Can't replicate outside of host
-Can cause disease of organs (brains, lungs, skin, etc)

Front 6

Treatment for Viral Infections

Back 6

Anti-viral medications

Front 7

Fungus

Back 7

-Eukaryotic organisms, like mold and yeasts
-Can grow like strings or thread
-Causes infections in skin and other places

Front 8

Treatment of Fungal Infections

Back 8

-Antifungal medications

Front 9

How Do Infections Spread?

Back 9

-Droplet and Airborne
-Aerosol
-Water and soil
-Direct Contact
-Faeco-oral
-Contaminated intermediates (sheets, pillow, doorknobs, etc)

Front 10

How Does the Body Prevent Against Infection?

Back 10

-Immune System
-Blood (white blood cells)
-Physical Barriers (skin, lungs)
-Mechanical Barriers (coughing, crying)
-Chemical Barriers (stomach acid)

Front 11

3 Parts of the Immune System

Back 11

1. White blood cells
2. Thrombocytes
3. Lymphatic system

Front 12

White Blood Cells (Leukocytes)

Back 12

-Cells of the immune system involved in defending the body against both infectious disease and foreign materials
-5 different types
-Produced in bone barrow

Front 13

Lymphatic System

Back 13

-A network of conduits that carry clear liquid called lymph around the body
-Transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the bones.

Front 14

2 Problems of the Immune System

Back 14

1. Poor Defense (HIV, blood disorders, genetic disorders)

2. Autoimmune Disease (Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis)
-Body attacks it's own tissue
