14
Q

how can neutrophils bind to opsonised microorganisms

A

Once bacteria have encountered immunoglobulins or complement components, neutrophils can bind to them

15
Q

can neutrphils gobble up particles

A

YES

16
Q

margination

A

loss of intravascular fluid
slowing of flow to the site
allows nutrophils to marginate

17
Q

adhesion/pavementing

A

neutrophils adhere to vascular endothelium
caused by interaction between paired adhesion molecules on the neutrophil and endothelila surfaces

18
Q

emigration

A

pass between endotjelila celks through basal lamina and into adventitia
from blood int tissues

19
Q

what do release of histamine and thrombin cause

A

up regulation of p selectin and platelet activating factor on the endothelila cells

20
Q

what do the ligands on the neutrophil surface engae with

A

p selectin on endothelila wall

21
Q

function of histamine

A

Causes vascular dilation and permeability
Released mainly by mast cells (an immune cell that lives in connective tissue, waiting to be activated)

22
Q

what is histamibe released by

A

mast cells

23
Q

what are lysosomal compounds released by

A

neutrophils

24
Q

seratonin function and released by?

A

vasoconstrcitor released by platelets

25
Q

chemokines

A

family of chemical which attract more white blood cells to site of inflammation

26
Q

which interlukein attracts neutrophils

A

IL-8

27
Q

steps in ordwr

A

Margination – cells line up against the endothelium
Rolling – close contact with and roll along the endothelium
Adhesion – connecting to the endothelial wall
Emigration – cells move through the vessel wall to the affected area

28
Q

vascular phase responses

A

dilatation of arterioles followed by capillary dilatation and then venular dilatatio.
