Ch.2 Acute inflammation Flashcards
To stimulate and permit inflammatory cells as well as plasma proteins (complement) and fluid to migrate out of blood vessels and into the target interstitial space.
Inflammation
Inflammation helps rid host cell of the ____ cause of cell injury (microbes & toxins) and the _______ of injury (necrotic cells & tissues) + initate _____ of tissues
Rid of initial cause and consequences, initiate repair
What are he two phases of inflammation?
Acute (start) and chronic inflammation
rapid response to infections and tissue damage
Acute inflammation
Presence of edema & neutrophils in tissue=
Acute inflammation
leakage of fluid and plasma proteins into the interstitial or serous cavities. Exudate or transudate
edema
If there is failure to clear the stimulus inflammation progresses to a protracted phase called ____ inflammation
Chronic
longer duration and is associated with continuing tissue destruction and fibrosis (the deposition of connective tissue).
Chronic inflammation
Acute or chronic?
mainly neutrophils
Accute
Acute or chronic?
monocytes / macrophaes & lymphocytes
Chronic
Acute or chronic?
Mild & self limited tissue injury
Acute
Acute or chronic?
May be significant injury
Chronic
Acute or chronic?
no fibrosis
Accute
Acute or chronic?
May be severe/progressive fibrosis
Chronic
Acute or chronic?
Requires gene activation
chronic, slow.
What are the 5 external manifestations of inflammation?
Heat, redness, swelling, pain, & loss of function.
5 Steps of inflammatory run
- Recognition
- Recruitment
- Removal
- Regulation
- Repair
Acute or chronic?
Glomerulunphritis, vasculitis (antibodies & complement, neutrophils)
Acute
Acute or chronic?
Septic shock (cytokienes)
Acute
When cytokines overwhelm the buffering system of body, HYPOTENSION .
Septic shock
Acute or chronic?
Rheumatoid Arthritis (lymphocytes, macro, antibodies)
chronic
Acute or chronic?
Asthma (IgE, eosinophils)
Chronic
Acute or chronic?
Pulmonary fibrosis (Mac, fibroblasts)
Chronic
Acute or chronic?
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (neutrophils)
Acute
Inadequate inflammation is manifested how?
Increased susceptibility to infections
-Reduced production of leukocytes
-Immunosuprrsive ages
-Malnutrition
Are all what?
Things that impair inflammation
Are local and systemic signs of acute inflammation low or high? and why?
High b.c presence of signal still there
Are local and systemic signs of chronic inflammation low or high? and why?
Low/variable because signal strength change over time, so its harder to detect,
-Infection (microbe)
-tissue necrosis (molecules released trigger)
-foreign bodies(sutures, tissue implants)
-Immune reactions (hypersensitivities)
are all what?
Causes of inflamation
The first step is : ____ of microbs and nectrotic cells by cellular receptors and circulating proteins.
Recognition
Most important resident cells who function is to detect the presence of foreign invader, ingest & destroy
Then illicit inflammatory response by recruiting cells & proteins from blood to complete elimination process
macrophages & dendritic cells
Step?
Injury or infection
Releases chemoattractant agent molecules (chemotaxis) that alert immune cell in vicinity of the need of inflammatory cells
Step Zero.
Activation of ___ leads to production of cytokines that trigger inflamation
Toll-like receptors
Macrophages have _____ on their (1) surface, in the (2) extracellular space; in endosomes, into which microbes are ingested; and ion (3) cytosol
TLRs
recruit and activate a multiprotein complex (the inflammasome) which generates the biologically active cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1).
NOD like receptors (NLRs)
Causes redness (erythema) and warmth in acute
Vasodilation
What is the most important chemical mediator in vasodilatation?
Histamine
Follow vasodilatation
outpouring of protein-rich fluid into the extravascular tissues
increased permeability of the microvasculature
escape of fluid, proteins, and blood cells from the vascular system into the interstitial tissue or body cavities
Exudation
Extravascular fluid that is high in protein and contains cellular debris
Exudate
What does the presence of exudate imply?
That there is increased permeability in small blood vessels typically during inflammatory rxn.
a fluid with low protein content (most of which is albumin), little or no cellular material, and low specific gravity.
Transudate
