acute inflammation Flashcards
acute inflammation
The immediate and early response to injury, designed to deliver leukocytes to the site of injury
itis
inflammation ofos
osis
disease or condition
bacterial exotoxins
chemicals released by bacterua which stimulate inflammation
bacterial endotoxins
associated with bacteria cell walls also stimulate inflammation
what does dead tissue release to trigger acute inflammatory response
peptides
rubor
redness
calor
heat
tumor
swelling
funciton laesa
loss of function
dolor
pain
two mjaor ocmponents in early inflammation
vascular chnages and cellular events
vascular changes in acute inflammation
initial trtansient constriction
then vasodilation
how can neutrophils move
by contractin gcytoplasmic microtubules
how can neutrophils bind to opsonised microorganisms
Once bacteria have encountered immunoglobulins or complement components, neutrophils can bind to them
can neutrphils gobble up particles
YES
margination
loss of intravascular fluid
slowing of flow to the site
allows nutrophils to marginate
adhesion/pavementing
neutrophils adhere to vascular endothelium
caused by interaction between paired adhesion molecules on the neutrophil and endothelila surfaces
emigration
pass between endotjelila celks through basal lamina and into adventitia
from blood int tissues
what do release of histamine and thrombin cause
up regulation of p selectin and platelet activating factor on the endothelila cells
what do the ligands on the neutrophil surface engae with
p selectin on endothelila wall
function of histamine
Causes vascular dilation and permeability
Released mainly by mast cells (an immune cell that lives in connective tissue, waiting to be activated)
what is histamibe released by
mast cells
what are lysosomal compounds released by
neutrophils
seratonin function and released by?
vasoconstrcitor released by platelets
chemokines
family of chemical which attract more white blood cells to site of inflammation
which interlukein attracts neutrophils
IL-8
steps in ordwr
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
vascular phase responses
dilatation of arterioles followed by capillary dilatation and then venular dilatatio.
