Ch 3 Vocab Builders Flashcards
A whole body allergic reaction
Anaphylaxis
Plasma membranes that can seal off and detach from the cell surface of injured cells
Blebs
Crumbly, cheeselike
Caseous
A medical condition or disease that is simultaneously present with another
Comorbidity
Excessive shrinking of healing tissue
Contracture
An undesirable outcome of healing because it can be disfiguring and impair movement or organ function
Contracture
Polypeptide substances produced by leukocytes that have a wide range of inflammatory actions affecting either cytokine-producing cells (autocrine effects) or adjacent cells (paracrine effects)
Cytokines
When leukocytes actively migrate out of the vessels, passing through vascular walls without damaging the blood vessels and entering the interstitial space
Diapedesis
An increase in cell numbers accompanied by altered cell morphology and loss of histologic or cell organization
Dysplasia
Considered to be a preneoplastic alteration and found in areas that are chronically injury and undergoing hyperplasia and metaplasia
Dysplasia
The escape of fluid and often described as fluid escaping into a compartment such as a joint capsule; can be either transudate or exudate
Effusion
A variety of enzymatic and nonenzymatic defense mechanisms present within cells to perform the function of antioxidants, detoxifying ROS and protecting the cells from injury
Endogenous
Antioxidants taken from the outside of the body through our diet
Exogenous
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and B-Carotene are common antioxidants of which type?
Exogenous
Occurs when an increase in capillary permeability allows proteinaceous fluid and/or cells to leak out primarily through openings created between adjacent endothelial cells in the capillaries or venules
Exudate
An integral part of metabolism and are formed continuously in the body while they exert positive and negative effects
Free radical
Chronic inflammatory reaction
Granuloma
The phase that occurs immediately after an acute injury as platelets from blood plasma enter the tear to initiate clot formation (coagulation)
Hemostasis
Liver cells
Hepatocytes
OH-
Hydroxyl radicals
Leads to membrane damage and breakdown of structural and enzymatic proteins that result in cell death
Hydroxyl radicals
An increase in number of cells leading to increased organ size
Hyperplasia
An increase in the size of the cell and organ and can occur when increased functional demands are placed on cells, tissues, or organs and with increased hormonal input
Hypertrophy
Causes radiolysis of water and production of hydroxyl radicals
Ionizing radiation
