Study Notes
Module 1: Innate Immunity
- Functions as the body's first defense against invading pathogens.
- Comprises physical barriers (skin, mucous membranes), chemical barriers (stomach acid, enzymes), and cellular components (neutrophils, macrophages).
- Acts non-specifically; it does not target a specific pathogen.
- Offers immediate protection upon exposure to pathogens.
Module 2: Introduction to Microbiology
- Focuses on the study of diverse microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
- Highlights their significance in both health (e.g., gut microbiota) and diseases (pathogenic infections).
- Covers basic structures and functions of microorganisms.
- Discusses microbial growth and reproduction dynamics.
Module 3: Infections and Their Applications in Clinical Practice
- Differentiates between various types of infections: bacterial, viral, and fungal.
- Explores routes of transmission, emphasizing contact, airborne, and vector-borne pathways.
- Details methods for diagnosing and treating common infections.
- Addresses challenges like antibiotic resistance; emphasizes the importance of stewardship.
- Reviews infection control practices essential in healthcare settings.
Module 4: Pharmacology 1
- Introduces fundamental principles of pharmacokinetics (what the body does to a drug) and pharmacodynamics (how drugs affect the body).
- Covers processes of drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME).
- Explains different mechanisms through which drugs exert their effects.
- Discusses dose-response relationships that determine the efficacy and safety of drugs.
- Highlights the significance of understanding drug interactions and potential side effects.
Module 5: Pharmacology 2
- Lists commonly prescribed drug categories, including antibiotics, analgesics, and anti-inflammatory medications.
- Discusses cardiovascular medications that manage heart-related conditions.
- Reviews respiratory medications used for conditions like asthma and COPD.
- Covers drugs that influence nervous system function, including anxiolytics and antidepressants.
Module 6: Adaptive Immunity
- Describes the specific immune response that targets distinct pathogens.
- Involves B cells responsible for antibody production against antigens.
- T cells play a crucial role in cell-mediated immunity and directly kill infected cells.
- Immunological memory ensures faster responses upon re-exposure to pathogens.
- Emphasizes the role of vaccines in promoting immunity.
Module 7: Lymphatic System
- Illustrates the structural components of the lymphatic system, including lymph nodes, vessels, spleen, and thymus.
- Functions in immune defense, fluid balance, and transporting lymphatic fluid.
- Critical for the removal of interstitial fluid and absorption of dietary fats.
- Lymphatic circulation significantly contributes to overall health.
Module 8: Health Breakdown Through Lifespan
- Examines the decline in immune functionality with age, affecting health resilience.
- Identifies common health issues prevalent at different life stages: pediatric, adult, and geriatric.
- Discusses the impact of lifestyle choices on health across the lifespan, including diet, exercise, and stress management.
Module 9: Immune System Disorders
- Covers autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus that arise from inappropriate immune responses.
- Discusses immunodeficiency disorders like HIV/AIDS that weaken immune protection.
- Explores allergies and hypersensitivity reactions, which are excessive immune responses to harmless substances.
- Reviews the immunological aspects of cancer and their implications for treatment.
- Focuses on diagnosis and management strategies for various immune disorders.
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand the immune system's essential role in promoting and maintaining health.
- Recognize the contributions of microorganisms to health breakdown within communities and healthcare environments.
- Explain pharmacological principles related to commonly prescribed medications during health breakdowns throughout a person's life.
- Describe effective infection control and prevention strategies to ensure safe patient-centered care.
