Chapter Two - CT Cont. Flashcards
What increases the permeability of capillaries and venules as well as dilates arterioles and small arteries during a basic inflammatory reaction?
Histamine
What cells are produced during the first exposure primary immune response?
Memory cells (B and T)
What extends the effects of histamine?
Leukotrienes
What reacts first in a basic inflammatory reaction like a cut in the skin?
Histamine
What reacts last in a basic inflammation reaction like a cut in the skin?
Heparin and ECF
What counters the effects of histamine?
Heparin
What attracts neutrophils?
NCF
What attracts eosinophils?
ECF
What is the stimulus for a basic inflammatory reaction like a cut in the skin?
Phagocytosis, direct trauma, complement
What is the stimulus for an intermediate inflammatory reaction?
IgE/allergen complex
Hay fever and allergic contact dermatitis are examples of what kind of inflammatory reaction?
Intermediate
Dead cells, debris, and broken fibers are examples of what kind of inflammatory response?
Basic
What is massively produced during anaphylaxis?
IgE
Exposure to bee venom, peanut oil, and shellfish are examples of what kind of inflammatory reaction?
Anaphylaxis
What can the circulatory shock of anaphylaxis lead to?
Cardiovascular collapse
What is the cause of cardiovascular collapse with severe anaphylaxis?
Extensive internal bleeding
Which type of asthma involves an unknown allergen with a usual adult onset?
Intrinsic asthma
Which type of asthma involves allergens that are typically in the air and childhood onset?
Extrinsic asthma
What is the primary problem of asthma?
Release of leukotrienes
What stimulates asthma?
IgE allergen complex or secondary factors like fatigue, endocrine changes, odors, emotions, foods, etc.
What causes secondary difficulties of asthma?
Inflammation in the lungs
What cells become macrophages in connective tissue?
Monocytes
What phagocytic cells are attracted to sites of acute inflammation?
Neutrophils
What cells combat parasitic worm larvae?
Eosinophils
What leukocytes are attracted to sites of allergic inflammation?
Eosinophils
What is the most abundant leukocyte in the blood?
Neutrophils
Basophils are similar to what kind of cell?
Mast cells
What is the function of basophils?
Initiate, maintain, and influence inflammation
What kind of leukocyte is attracted to sites of chronic inflammation?
Lymphocytes
