Q

Cell Derived : Newly synthesized Arachidonic Acid Metabolites

Damage to cell membranes–> ?
that acts on cell membranes–> releasing what?

A
  • Damage to cell membranes → activation of Phospholipase A2

Q

Acute Phase Response

What are the 7 steps that take place?

A
  • Fever
  • ↑ sleep
  • Pain
  • Neutrophilia
  • ↓ Appetite (TNF promotes lipid and protein mobilization by
    suppressing appetite)
  • Prolonged production of TNF → cachexia (weight loss and
    anorexia – cancer and infection)
  • Corticotropin and corticosteroids released
  • If severe → hypotension, decreased vascular resistance, increased
    heart rate and decreased blood pH → shock

  • They follow the cell cycle from one mitosis to the next.
  • They continue to proliferate throughout life, continuously replacing
    cells that have being destroyed.
  • Tissues
    regenerate after injury, provided that
    enough stem cells remain.

These cells usually demonstrate
a low normal level of
replication. However, stable
cells can undergo rapid division
in response to a variety of
stimuli.

FLUID PRESSURES

drives fluid out of
vessels (into ECF)
- Blood pressure

A

Hydrostatic Pressure:

122
Q

FLUID PRESSURES

drives fluid into vessels
- Plasma proteins
- any change in net hydrostatic and oncotic
pressure will be altering the fluid distribution
within the ECF (ex. Increased hydrostatic
pressure)

A

Oncotic Pressure:

123
Q

FLUID PRESSURES

124
Q

EDEMA

what is edema?

A

What is edema? - Accumulation of excess extracellular
fluid in the interstitial space or in body
cavities. - Can be localized or generalized

125
Q

EDEMA

4 PATHOMECHANISMS:

A
  1. Increased blood hydrostatic pressure
  2. Decreased oncotic pressure
  3. Lymphatic obstruction or damage
  4. Increased vascular permeability
126
Q

EDEMA - INCREASED HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

what is it?

A

Increased BP (hydrostatic pressure) due to impaired
venous blood flow, forcing fluid out of the vasculature

127
Q

EDEMA - INCREASED HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

what does generalized mean?
what is an example?

A

Generalized: throughout the entire body
Ex. Right-sided Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
*venus blook can’t be pumped to lings so it builds up

increased hydro ??? (I cant read the notes? slide 44)

128
Q

EDEMA - INCREASED HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

what does localized mean?
what is an example?

A

Venous occlusion
- ex. a bandage wrapped too tightly around a limb

*when venous blood can’t flow–> increased hydrostatic pressure

Or how about when you fall off your horse and the idiots put the cast on too tight and you are in so much pain your parents have to call 911?

129
Q

EDEMA - INCREASED HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE

what is lymphatic obstruction/damage?

A

typically causes localized edema
damage/obstruction of lymphatics (e.g. surgery)

130
Q

EDEMA - DECREASED ONCOTIC PRESSURE

what does it cause?

A

Causes **generalized edema *- you lose proteins
everywhere, not just one area!
Remember: Plasma proteins play a role in
maintaining this pressure, so if those proteins are
altered, edema can result!

131
Q

EDEMA - DECREASED ONCOTIC PRESSURE

Proteins not absorbed from diet or starvation
Decrease in protein production by the liver (hepatic
diseases)
Glomerular diseases

what is it?

A

Hypoproteinemia:

132
Q

EDEMA - LYMPHATIC OBSTRUCTION

what is it?
when does it occur?
why does it occur?

A

Localized edema
Common complications from surgery and neoplasms

The lymphatic system normally drains excess fluid, so if
the lymphatics are obstructed then fluid is able to
accumulate!

133
Q

EDEMA - INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY

what is it?

A

**Localized **edema
Endothelium damage by viruses and toxins

134
Q

EDEMA - INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY

Why would there be increased vascular permeability
with inflammation?

A

Release of inflammatory mediators changes the
permeability of the vasculature!

135
Q

EDEMA - INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY

How would this change the composition of the
edema?

A

With the increase in permeability, both** fluid AND small proteins are able to escape the vasculature**

136
Q

CLASSIFICATION OF EDEMA

what are the 2 types?

A

Non-inflammatory - Transudate
Inflammatory - Exudate

137
Q

CLASSIFICATION OF EDEMA

  • increased vascular permeability (think
    inflammation!)
  • high protein content, high specific
    gravity, high nucleated cell count

what is it?

A

Inflammatory - Exudate

138
Q

CLASSIFICATION OF EDEMA

  • increased hydrostatic, decreased osmotic,
    lymphatic obstruction
  • CHF/liver failure
  • protein poor, low specific gravity, low
    cellularity

what is it?

A

Non-inflammatory - Transudate
*think transparent-nothing in it

139
Q

Wet, gelatinous and heavy

Swollen organs

When cut, fluid will seep

May also appear yellow

what is it?

A

GROSS APPEARANCE OF EDEMA

140
Q

HISTOLOGICAL APPEARANCE OF EDEMA

describe

A

-Clear or pale eosinophilic staining depending
on whether is non-inflammatory or inflammatory
edema

  • Spaces are distended
  • Blood vessels may be filled with RBCs

Lymphatics are dilated
Why?

-they are trying hard to soak in as much extra fluid as possible.
