Cholera and Blood Coagulation Quiz

The process of stopping bleeding by clotting.

The initial response to injury, marked by redness, warmth, swelling, and pain.

The stage where new tissue is built, involving fibroblasts producing collagen and forming a scar.

The final stage where the scar matures, getting stronger and more organized.

Bacteria invade the open wound, multiplying and forming biofilms. They produce chemicals that interfere with the skin's natural defenses.

Antibiotics either kill or slow down the growth of bacteria causing infection, preventing it from spreading and allowing wound healing to continue.

Chemicals released by damaged tissues that cause blood vessels to dilate and leak, bringing immune cells to the site of injury.

Specialized cells that produce collagen, the primary protein in connective tissue.

A single dose vaccine that protects against Cholera, especially for travelers to areas with active transmission.

Children, especially those under five years old. They are more susceptible to dehydration and illness.

The bacteria causing Cholera are typically eliminated from the body within 2 weeks, and mild symptoms usually resolve within 3-6 days.

A liquid solution containing electrolytes and glucose, crucial for rehydration in Cholera patients.

Cells with one or more long, whip-like structures called flagella. These structures help the cell move.

Cells with numerous short hair-like structures called cilia. They help in movement and capture food.

Microscopic organisms that can be single-celled or multicellular. They include bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

The ability of an organism to move independently. Flagellated cells are examples of motile cells.

Tiny cell fragments that help in blood clotting by forming a plug at the site of injury, attracting other cells to the area.

A series of steps involving clotting factors that activate each other in a cascade, leading to the formation of a fibrin clot.

A strong, insoluble protein mesh that forms a clot over the platelet plug, effectively sealing the wound.

An intestinal infection causing diarrhea with blood in the stool caused by the bacteria Shigella.

An intestinal infection causing diarrhea with blood in the stool caused by the amoeba Entamoeba histolytica.

A type of blood test that analyzes the physical and chemical properties of blood, measuring things like red blood cell count and hemoglobin levels.

A protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it to the body's tissues.
