Acute Inflammation Flashcards
Inflammation is seen in which type of tissues
Vascularized tissues
Components of inflammation
Blood vessels
Leukocytes
Platelets
Plasma proteins
Cellular and extra cellular constituents of CT
Inflammation can cause
Autoimmune diseases
Allergies
Septic shock
Acute respiratory distress syndrome
Chronic diseases
Metabolic,degenerative or genetic diseases
Cancers
Which inflammation type is confined to the site of infection
Local inflammation
Which type of inflammation is disseminated bacterial infection
Systemic inflammation
In chronic inflammation which cellular components are involved
Monocytes/ macrophages
Lymphocytes
Cardinal signs of inflammation
Heat
Redness
Swelling
Pain
Loss of function
Rubor
Redness

Causes of inflammation
Infections
Tissue necrosis
Foreign bodies
Immune reactions
Physical agents
Chemicals
Three major components of acute inflammation
Vascular dilation and increase in blood flow
Increased vascular permeability
Leukocyte emigration and accumulation in the focus of injury
3 mechanisms in increased vascular permeability
Contraction of endothelial cells
Endothelial injury
Transcytosis
Reactions of blood vessels in acute inflammation
Exudation
Exudate—> high protein content
Transudate
Edema
Pus
Journey of leukocytes
Movement in the lumen of blood vessels
Migration across the endothelium —> Ig —> CD31
Migration in the tissues towards the chemotactic stimulus
Features of vasodilation
One of the earliest manifestations of acute inflammation
First and the immediate change in the vessels
Due to several mediators —> histamine
Begins in arterioles
Results in increased blood flow
Redness at the site of inflammation
Features of Contraction of endothelial cells in increased vascular permeability
Most common mechanism
Histmaine, Bradykinin, Leukotrienes, NO
Occurs immediately
Short lived
Immediate transient response
Which event occurs in the movement of leukocytes in the lumen of blood vessels
Margination
Rolling
Adhesion
Endothelial and leukokocyte adhesion molecules
Selectins
Integrins
Ig
Importance of endothelial and leukocyte adhesion molecules
leukocyte rolling
Adhesion
Migration
Stimulated by cytokines
Expressed on endo cells and leukocytes
Rolling is mediated by which endothelial and leukocyte adhesion molecule
Selectins
Adhesion is mediated by
Integrins
