2450 wk 2 Flashcards
what are 2 processes, benefits, and types of inflammation
biochemical and cellular - decreases tissue damage -captures removes invaders/debris - promotes healing acute (8-10 days) chronic (weeks months)
what are the signs/symptoms of inflammation
1&2 rubor & calor (vasodilation)
- tumor
- dolor
- impaired funx
3 lab values seen in inflammation
WBC,acute phase proteins, ESR
if inflammation is present rxn of WBC, and why this occurs
shift to left because of more immature netrophils released from bone marrow
when do acute-phase proteins peak, name 3 and process associated and where proteins released
10-40 hrs after injury an increase in c-reactive protein (CRP) - in response to cytokines -binds to invader and activates more mediators (i.e. cytokines and complement) coag proteins (fibrinogen), complement from liver
what is ESR and describe process
erthryocyte sedimentation rate
- faster sedimentation rate during inflammation
- done in conjunction with CRP
5 tissue injury examples
infx, cell death/damage, shear stress, secretion, clotting
6 cells involved in inflammation
mast cells, basophils, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes/macrophages, cytokines
most important cell, location, when released & 2 associated processes
mast cell, connective tissue near blood vessels, released w/in seconds
- degranulation: release histamine and chemotactic factor
- synthesis of other inflamm. mediators synthesized from membrane lipids prostanoids, leukotrienes, platelet activating factor
rxn of histamine
- vasodilation (5-10min)
- increase vasc. permeability
- margination (pavementing) sticky leukocytes line up along vasc wall
rxn of chemotactic factors
substances at site of inflamm that attract white blood cells (neutrophils and eosinophils) by causing them to travel along a concentration gradient toward invader
describe arachnoid acid metab and 3 main products
membrane phospholipids–(activation PL A2) –>
PLATELET ACTIVATING FACTOR(PAF) & Arachidonic acid
Arachadonic acid–cox enzyme–>PROSTANOIDS
Arachadonic acid –lipoxygenase–> LEUKOTRIENES
3 prostanoids and rxn
prostaglandins, prostacyclin, thromboxanes
increase vasc permeability, bronchoconstrict, neutrophil chemotaxis, PAIN, platelet funxn
leukotriene rxn
increase vasc permeability, bronchoconstrict, platelet activation, slower & more powerful than prostanoids.
PAF rxn & character.
synthesized from phospholipids, arach acid not needed, increase vasc permeability, bronchoconstrict, platelet activation
basophil role and WBC %
mast cells come from basophil
less than 1% of WBC
contain histamine & other mediators that respond to inflamm and allergic rxns
remain in plasma
neutrophils: ETA, lifespan in plasma & tissue, % 4 axns
ETA:6-12 hrs after injury LIFESPAN: 10hrs, 4-5 days in tissue (40-75% WBC)
- MCF release
- Diapedesis
- Chemotaxis to injured site
- Phagocytosis
3 phases of phagocytosis
adherence endocytosis (engulfment) intracellular killing
2 types of adherence
opsonization: it is a free floating complement and antibody (opsonins) acts like glue and is strongest
inante receptors: Toll like receptors work in pairs/dimers, recognize blocks of antigens, slower
two methods of intracellular killing
- o2 dependent mechanism- increase uptake of o2 by phagosome and generates toxic oxidants ROS
- o2 independent mechanism: acidic pH of lysosomes, proteins/enzymes that damage wall cell membrane wall, phagocytic release of lactoferrin to bind with Fe so invaders can not reproduce
plasma protein that protect healthy tissue
protease inhibitor- inhibits enzymes
alpha antitrypsin: is released when the phagocyte dies (found in liver and lung)
eosinophils axn, WBC%
-granules contain proteins that are toxic to large parasites & respond in allergic rxn, limit inflamm by degrading inflamm molecules (histamines)
1-6% cop cells
monocytes/marcophages %, difference between mono and macro,& name in liver lung brain
3-8% of WBC
monocyte in blood, monocytes become macrophages
liver: kupffer in liver, alveolar macro in lung, and migroglia in brain
macrophage arrival, life span, funxn and what aids this funxn, mode of arrival
longer life span, arrive within 24 hrs of neutrophil, phagocytosis same as neutrophil & aided by cytokines, arrive by chemtoaxis neutrophil releases macro chemo fac
what are cytokines
protein products of many cell types, mostly lymphocytes and macrophages
how do cytokines funxn
act locally or systemically, induce synthesis of another inflamm mediator, can be pro-inflam or anti-inflamm or a chemokine (~40 that help with chemotaxis of leukocytes)
cytokine types
interleukins, interferons, tumor necrosis factor, transforming growth factor, colony stimulating factor
name and describe 3 interleukins
iL1 proinflam pyrogen, activates macrophage & lymphocytes many effects on neutrophils (local inflam)
iL 6 proinflam directly causes hepatocytes to produce proteins for inflamm
iL10 anti inflam decrease lymphocytic growth, decrease cytokine produxn
