Study Notes
Hypersensitivity Reactions
- Allergic reactions are a type of hypersensitivity reaction mediated by IgE, mast cells, and sometimes basophils and eosinophils.
- Antigens that cause allergies are called allergens.
- Type III hypersensitivity reactions involve immune complex deposition and complement activation.
- Type II hypersensitivity reactions include cytotoxic antibodies targeting specific cells or tissues.
- Type IV hypersensitivity reactions are mediated by T cells and involve delayed responses.
Veterinary Medicine
- Veterinary physicians are most often responsible for leading professional care in veterinary medicine.
- In addition to veterinary physicians, veterinary nurses and technicians can also lead professional care in veterinary medicine.
- Veterinary medicine covers the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and disorders in animals.
- The scope of veterinary medicine includes animal health, welfare, and productivity, as well as public health and environmental aspects related to animal health.
- Veterinary science contributes to human health by advancing the understanding of infectious diseases, developing new diagnostic tools and treatments, and improving food safety and security.
