Microbiology Chapter 14
Across
- 3. type 1 hypersensitivity disorder; respiratory disease characterized by episodes of impaired breathing due to severe bronchoconstriction; extremely sensitive to minute amounts of inhalants, ingestants or other stimuli, such as infectious agents (NK cells are recruited)
- 6. controlled exposure to the antigen through ingestion, sublingual absorption, or injection to reset the allergic reaction
- 7. (two words) type 1 hypersensitivity disorder; generic term for allergic rhinitis; seasonal reactions to inhaled plant pollen or molds, or a chronic, year-round reaction to airborne allergens or inhalants; targets the respiratory mucous membrane
- 9. airborne environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, dander, or fungal spores
- 10. exaggerated immune response that is manifested by inflammation
- 11. allergies that enter through the skin
- 13. clicking, bubbling, or rattling sounds in the lungs
- 14. allergens that cause food allergies
- 15. the immune system is incompletely developed, suppressed, or destroyed
Down
- 1. antigens that induce allergy in sensitive individuals
- 2. allergies triggered by drugs, vaccines, or bee venom
- 4. allergy and autoimmunity; tissues are attacked by own immune components that can’t distinguish one's own tissues from foreign material
- 5. chronic localized allergy such as hay fever or asthma
- 8. systemic, sometimes fatal, reaction that involves airway obstruction and circulatory collapse
- 12. type 3 hypersensitivity disorder characterized by butterfly shaped rash across nose and cheeks; all patients develop autoantibodies against organs, tissues, or other intracellular materials
