functio laesa
loss of function
Why does inflammation occur?
response of vascularized tissue to injury, attempt to contain/ inactivate the insult
are first on the scene, 4-24 hours and undergo apoptosis in 24-48 hours
neutrophils
“the clean up crew” arrive after 24 hours (usually day 3), can proliferate, in the tissue they are called macrophages
Monocytes
arrive typically late and are associated with chronic inflammation (*viruses)
lymphocytes
are also late, produce antibodies
plasma cells
may be early responders and are associated with allergic reaction, parasites, etc
eosinophils
Develops within hours to days
Neutrophils and later macrophages
Acute
Long lasting; weeks, months, years
Lymphocytes and plasma cells
Chronic
a specialized form of chronic inflammation with granuloma formation
Granulomatous
is defined by the accumulation of pus (dead neutrophils)
Purulent or suppurative
Fibrin-rich exudate (protein rich fluid, with many cells).
Fibrinous
Fibrinogen leaves the ______ and _____ is formed in the extracellular space
Fibrinogen leaves blood vessel and fibrin is formed in the extracellular space
is fluid accumulation caused by a transudate (protein poor fluid, with few cells)
serous
Acute inflammation sequence:
- Initiation of ________
- _________ vascular permeability
- Leukocyte ________
Acute inflammation sequence:
- Initiation of inflammation
- Increased vascular permeability
- Leukocyte extravasation
Regulation and Resolution for acute inflammation
Mediators
Systemic changes
Outcome
Signal comes from _________ of epithelial and dendritic cells that recognize bacteria and dead cells
TLR (toll like receptors)
Cells secrete cytokines: __________ and __________
tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-1 (IL-1)
Found in mast cells/basophils and platelets; premade in intracellular granules
*** key mediator of inflammation
histamine
Histamine:
Promotes _________ of arterioles, _________ vascular permeability of venules, endothelial activation by _______
promotes vasodilation
increases vascular permeability
and endothelial activation by H1receptor.
Immediate response (first 15 to 30min):
Histamine *
Bradykinin **
leukotrienes
Sustained response (4-24 hrs or more):
Histamine *
Bradykinin **
leukotrienes
TNF and IL-1 (cytokines with local and systemic effects)
mediator involved in pain
bradykinin
H1 receptor antagonist
Antihistamine drugs
Histamine effects:
Pruritus,__________, hypotension, flushing, headache, tachycardia, ____________, increase in vascular permeability.
vasodilation and bronchoconstriction
fluid moves into the extravascular tissue
increased vascular permeability
with increased vascular permeability, Red blood cells become concentrated resulting in _______ blood viscosity and a ______ of flow
increase in blood viscosity and reduction of flow
vascular changes first stars with a brief, transient ________ and the it is followed by arteriolar ________; the main vascular change of acute inflammation
vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation
Clinically manifested as erythema and warmth at site
vasodilation vascular change
Stack of coins of RBC
Rouleau
low protein content, few cells
transudate
high protein content, and may contain some white and red cells
exudate
A fluid that passed through the blood vascular wall as a result of hydrodynamic forces.
transudate
A fluid that escaped from the blood vasculature, usually as a result of inflammation.
exudate
Specific gravity <1.015
transudate
Specific gravity > 1.015
exudate
Leukocytes (principally neutrophils) accumulate along the vascular endothelial surface
margination
Leukocytes roll along the endothelium and interact via _______
selectins
Expression of selectins regulated by the cytokines ________ and _______
TNF and IL-1
L-selectin on
leukocytes
E selectin on
endothelium
P- selectin on
platelets
p-selectin and von Willebrand factor released from___________ granules of endothelial cells due to histamine and thrombin
Weibel-Palade bodies
induce expression of ligands for integrins,
TNF-1 and IL-1
