Questão 7

Questão
Explain the term: Epidemic
Responda
  • – Wide spread disease within a community (region), affecting many people but only occasionally present
  • – Disease present in a community (region) all the time, usually only clinical in a few

Questão 8

Questão
Explain the term: Pandemic
Responda
  • – Wide spread epidemic, not confined to a single community or region (more than one continent)
  • – Wide spread disease within a community (region), affecting many people but only occasionally present

Questão 9

Questão
Explain the term: Sporadic
Responda
  • Widely scattered disease, occurring singly, irregularly, infrequently
  • Wide spread epidemic, not confined to a single community or region (more than one continent)

Questão 10

Questão 11

Questão
Explain the difference between Morbidity and Mortality
Responda

  • • Morbidity – Number of deaths caused by infective agent • Mortality – Number made ill by infective agent

Questão 12

Questão
Explain the difference between Incidence and Prevalence
Responda
  • • Incidence – Number of new cases over specific period • Prevalence – Number of cases (infected or diseased) at a given time (old and new cases)
  • • Incidence – Number of cases (infected or diseased) at a given time (old and new cases) • Prevalence – Number of new cases over specific period

Questão 13

Questão

Responda
  • • Virulence of the pathogen
  • • Population susceptibility
  • • Pathogen transmission mode
  • • Education and awareness campaigns to the general public

Responda
  • Neutrophils
  • Basophils
  • Eosinophils
  • Monocytes

  • eosinophils

Questão 20

Questão
What antibody types are involved in the primary immune response?
Responda
  • B Cells and antibody is IgM (Immunoglobulin M)
  • B Cells and antibody is IgG (Immunoglobulin G)

Responda
  • Two populations of T cells involved: – Cytotoxic T cells (TC) – Natural Killer cells (NK cells)
  • Two populations of B cells involved: – Cytotoxic B cells (BC) – Natural Killer cells (NK cells)

Questão 23

Questão
List the ways antibodies fight infection
Responda
  • • Antigens stimulate the generation of antibodies • Antibodies have specific binding (variable region) regions to specific antigens
  • • Antigens stimulate the generation of lymphocytes • Antibodies have specific binding (variable region) regions to specific antigens

Questão 24

Questão
List the antibody isotypes
Responda

  • • IgA – Monomer in serum, dimer in saliva and secretions, most abundant total – saliva and mucosal surfaces, tear, nasal fluids, milk
  • • IgM – Pentamer, primary response – first Ab to appear during an infection
  • • IgE – Monomer, stem binds mast cells, basophils and eosinophils causing release if granules – anti-parasite, allergy
  • • IgD – Monomer, attached to B cells, antigen receptor for activation – largest Ab - Ag receptor on B cells
