A. V Flashcards
Inflammation common symptoms
Redness Warmth Swelling Pain Fever Loss of function
Redness happens due to
Vasodilation
Ket mediators of vasodilation
Histamine
Prostaglandins
Bradykinin
What mediated pain in case of inflammation
Bradykinine
PGE2
Acute inflammation vascular change
Vasodilation -> Increased blood flow + Increased vascular permeability -> Bring blood and proteins to site of infection
Transudate is formed when
Fluid leaks out bcs. of increased hydrostatic preasure
Transudate=
Low protein content
Few cells
Exudate is formed bcs, of
Vascular permeability is increased
Exudate=
High protein content
May contain white/red blood cells
What causes increased Vascular permeability?
Endothelial cell contraction -> Gaps
What is the main cellular event in case of acute inflammation?
Leukocyte reqruiment to the site of injury
Leukocyte job in inflammation
Ingest
Kill bacteria
Eliminate necrotic tissue
Leukocyte migration through blood vessels
Margination and rolling
Adhesion to endothelium
Transmigration btw. endot. cells
Migration in interstitial tissue
Which cytokines promote expression of selectin and integrin ligands on endothelium?
TNF
IL-1
Acute inflammation characterized by presence of
Edema
Neutrophils
Acute inflammation arise in reponse to
Infection
Tissur necrosis
Mediators of Acute inflammation
Toll Like Receptors Arachidonic acid metabolites Mast cells Complement Factor XII
TLR are activated by which ligand
PAMP (Lipoplysaccharide…)
