Term
Active Immunity:
Definition
usually long-lasting immunity that is acquired through production of antibodies within the organism in response to the presence of antigens
Term
Antigen(s):
Definition
Substance (s) capable of inducing formation of antibodies
Term
Anti-toxin:
Definition
A solution of antibodies prepared from serum of animals immunized with specific antigens and used to achieve short-term passive immunity in humans who may lack protective antibodies.
Term
Conjugation:
Definition
Covalently attaching an antigen (polysaccharide organism) to a carrier protein.
Term
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS):
Definition
A disorder in which a person’s own immune system damages their nerve cells, causing muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.
Term
Immune Globulin:
Definition
Immune serum globulin (ISG) is a sterile solution that contains antibodies that were obtained from large pools of human blood plasma.
Term
Immunoglobulins:
Definition
All serum globulins with antibody activity are referred to as immunoglobulins (Ig).
Term
Hyperimmune globulin:
Definition
Antibody products that contain high titers of specific antibody.
Term
Morbidity:
Definition
of, relating to, or characteristic of disease
Term
Mortality:
Definition
the number of deaths in a given time or place
Term
Parenteral:
Definition
piercing the mucous membrane or skin through needle sticks, human bites, cuts, and abrasions; injection through some route such as, subcutaneous and intramuscular.
Term
Passive Immunity:
Definition
immunity acquired by transfer of antibodies (as by injection of serum from an individual with active immunity).
Term
Polysaccharide:
Definition
a carbohydrate that can be decomposed by hydrolysis into two or more molecules of monosaccharides; especially: any of the more complex carbohydrates (as cellulose, starch, or glycogen)
Term
Toxoid:
Definition
a toxin of a pathogenic organism treated to destroy its toxicity but leave it capable of inducing the formation of antibodies on injection.
Term
Vaccine:
Definition
a preparation of killed microorganisms, living attenuated organisms, or a living fully virulent organism that is administered to produce or artificially increase immunity to a particular disease.
Term
Anaphylaxis
Definition
A generalized allergic reaction affecting one or more organ systems (e.g., skin, respiratory, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular), not to include a local reaction.
Term

Term
sympathetic
Definition
Stimulation of which division of the autonomic nervous system causes the release of epinephrine?
Term
Epinephrine stimulates the receptor cells of the smooth cardiac muscle causing the heart rate and blood pressure to increase
Definition
What effect does epinephrine have on cardiac activity?
Term
• Subcutaneous (SC)
• Intramuscular (IM)
• Intranasal (IN)

What is the most commonly used area for the administration of intradermal injections?
Term

Definition
Which intramuscular injection site presents the most risk because of proximity to the large sciatic nerve?
Term
Naturally, acquired active immunity
Definition
occurs when the person is exposed to a live pathogen, develops the disease, and becomes immune, because of the primary immune response
Term
Artificially acquired active immunity
Definition
occurs through the administration of a vaccine that contains an antigen. A vaccine stimulates a primary immune response against the antigen without causing symptoms of the disease.
Term
Naturally, acquired passive immunity
Definition
occurs during pregnancy, in which certain antibodies pass through the placenta from the maternal into the fetal bloodstream. These antibody levels fall rapidly in the child’s first few months following birth.
Term
Artificially acquired passive immunity
Definition
is a short-term immunity occurring through the administration, typically by injection or IV, of antibodies that are not produced by the recipient's own immune cells. Immune Globulin, or Gamma Globulin as it is more commonly known, is an example of this.
