Chapter 26 Clinical Pathophysiology Flashcards
- reaction of vascularized tissue in the body to local injury or insult.
- Protective attempt to remove harmful stimuli
Inflammation
Chemical irritants or toxins
Mechanical or physical trauma
Altered or damaged cells
Microorganisms
Causes of inflammation
Redness
Fever
Swelling
Signs and symptoms of ACUTE INFLAMMATION
long-term damage
as in Cancer and lung disease
Signs and symptoms of CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
Vascular and Cellular
Components of inflammatory response
component of inflammatory response that causes
Dilation of the microvasculature
allowing increased permeability of macromolecules into the tissue space
may cause EDEMA
VASCULAR component
component of inflammatory response that causes
MARGINATION
CELLULAR component
Leukocytes relocate to the endothelium wall
Margination
white blood cells
Leukocytes
mast cells-release produces vasodilation/increased permeability
Histamine
- inactive form in plasma
- activation leads to different inflammatory cascades
Factor XII(Hageman factor)
cascade that causes THROMBIN FORMATION-FIBRINOGEN TO FIBRIN
coagulation cascade
peptide=VASCULAR DILATION/INCREASED PERMEABILITY
BRADYKININ
cascade that causes BRADYKININ production
Kinin cascade
cascade that causes PLASMIN production
Fibrinolytic cascade
cascade that causes
MEMBRANE ATTACK/inflammatory mediators=chemotaxis,phagocytosis, histamine release
complement cascade
fatty acid-precursor to COX and LOX
Arachidonic acid
pathway that
Prostaglandins and thromboxanes
Cyclooxygenase pathway
COX pathway
pathway that produces
LEUKOTRIENES
Lipoxygenase pathway
LOX pathway
COX product that promotes
VASODILATION/INCREASED PERMEABILITY
Prostaglandin
COX product that promotes PLATELET AGGREGATION(repair)
Thromboxanes
LOX product that promotes
CHEMOTAXIS-VASODILATION-INCRESED PERMEABILITY
Leukotrienes
fluid in interstitial spaces
Edema
composes 50-60% body weight
BODY WATER
2/3 of body water
Intracellular component
1/3 of body water
-interstitial space separated by capillary wall
Extracellular component
controls normal exchange in the compartments
hydrostatic and osmotic pressure
regulate hydrostatic and osmotic pressure
plasma proteins
__________hydrostatic pressure causes EDEMA
INCREASED
__________osmotic pressure
causes EDEMA
DECREASED
increased blood volume
Congestion and hyperemia
passive-drainage is interrupted EX: VALVULAR STENOSIS
Congestion
active-Increased blood flow EX:ACUTE INFLAMMATION
Hyperemia
blood out of the circulatory system
Hemorrhage
trauma;
vascular wall damage resulting from disease;
or malfunction of the body’s normal mechanism to maintain hemostasis(CLOTTING)
CAUSES OF HEMORRHAGE
accumulation of blood bruise to subdural hematoma
Hematoma
<0.3 cm
Petechiae
0.3 and 1 cm
Purpuras
> =1 cm
Ecchymoses
pathologic process of blood clotting
Thrombosis
formed clot
Thrombus
Virchow’s triad
Decreased blood flow
Injury
Coagulation changes
- movement of dislodged mass/embolus
- most common-deep veins
Embolism
emboli from blood clots
Thromboemboli
ischemic necrosis
Infarction
lack of adequate blood supply
Ischemia
thickening of the arterial wall by lipid plaques
Atherosclerosis
inadequate blood flow=decreased perfusion
Shock
-cold, mottled skin; mental status changes; and oliguria
SIGNS and SYMPTOMS of SHOCK
