🗑
show permits exam of the size, shape and structure of RBC'S, and platelets. Useful in differentiation various forms of anemai and blood dyscarcias.  
🗑
show blood test for dx pernicious anemia. measures the absorption of vitamin B12.  
🗑
show Older test in determining pernicious anemia  
🗑
Radiologic Studies   show
🗑
bone marrow aspiration or biopsy:   show
🗑
show radiologic exam used to detect metastic involvment of the lymph nodes.  
🗑
show weakness, stupor, irritability, pale, cool, moist skin, vs:hypotension, tachycardia, and hypothermia, internal hemmorrhage.  
🗑
show protection that provides a specific reaction to each invading antagonist and has the unique ability to remember the antigen that caused the attack.  
🗑
show a substance that can produce a hypersensitive reacton in the body but is not necessarily inherently harmful.  
🗑
show a substance recognized by the body as foreign that can trigger an immune response.  
🗑
attenuated   show
🗑
show immune response to one's own tissue  
🗑
show somethign that has its origin within and individual esp. a factor present in tissues or fluids.  
🗑
show acquired immunity characterized by the dominant rule of small T lymphocytes, also called cell mediated immunity.  
🗑
humoral immunity   show
🗑
show an abnormal condition characterized by and excessive reaction to a particular stimulus  
🗑
show the quality of being insusceptible to or unaffected by a particular disease or conditon.  
🗑
show process by which resistance to an infectious disease is induced or increased.  
🗑
show the ability of an immune system to mobolize and deploy its antibodies and other responses to stimulaton by an antigen.  
🗑
immunodeficiency   show
🗑
immunogen   show
🗑
immunology   show
🗑
show the administration of agents that significantly interfere with the ability of the immune system to respond to antigenic stimulation by immunizations.  
🗑
immunotherapy   show
🗑
show is the first line of defense. it provides physical and chemical barriers to invading pathogens and protects against the external environment. Composed of skin, mucous membranes, cilia, stomach acid, tears, saliva, sebacious glands.  
🗑
show 2nd line of defense. provides a specific reaction to each invading antigen and has the unique ability to remember the antigen that caused the atact. protects the internal environment. antibodies develop naturally after sickness or vaccines.  
🗑
immunization   show
🗑
immunotherapy   show
🗑
show meadiated by B cells. they produce antibodies in response to antigen challange. 1st exposure is slow compared w/ subsequent antigen exposures. when 2nd exposure occurs it has a quick response, because it remembers how to kill it.  
🗑
show T-cells activated by an antigen. Whole cells become sensitized and released into the blood and tissues. On contact w/ antigen they attach to the organism and destroy it. hypersensitivity reaction are cell mediated.  
🗑
show the ability of the immune system to mobolize and use its antibodies and other responses to stimulation by an antigen.
