Q

Describe the mechanism of vascular changes in inflammation

A 
Immediate vasoconstriction
Vasodilation
Slows circulation
Leukocytes collects along wall and induce margination
Increased permeability

Q

Inflammation of a lymph node

A

Lymphadenitis

17
Q

Disease of the lymph nodes

A

Lymphadenopathy

18
Q

List the 4 steps for recruitment of leukocytes

A

Margination and rolling along vessel wall
Adhesion to endothelial cells
Transmigration between endothelial cells
Migration

19
Q

What predominates the inflammatory response during the first 24 hours

A

Neutrophils

20
Q

This removes dead tissue with attachment of opsonins and collections to the surface of the target

A

Phagocytosis

21
Q

This marks a cell for death

A

Opsonin

22
Q

This binds a microbe to a macrophage for phagocytosis

A

Collectin

23
Q

What are 3 outcomes of acute inflammation?

A

Resolution
Progression into chronicity
Scarring

24
Q

Characterized by excessive serum such as a burn blister or virus

A

Serous

25
Q

Severe injuries which result in scar formation

A

Fibrinous

26
Q

When inflammation is near an organ or tissue surface and a local defect is produced by the shedding of necrotic tissue

A

Ulcerative

27
Q

Contains pus

A

Purulent
