Q

Granulation tissue mechanism

A

capillaries grow into inflammatory mass

access plasma proteins

macrophages move from blood to tissue

fibroblasts lay down collagen to repair damaged tissue

collagen replaces inflammatory exudate

23
Q

Macrophage (phagocyte)role in the immune system is an

A

antigen presenting cell

24
Q

Macrophages remove

25
macrophages take over from
neutrophils
26
Fibroblasts make and assemble
collagen
27
Granulomatous inflammation is stimulated by
indigestible antigen | body cannot get rid of it
28
Granulomas
aggregates of epithelioid macrophages in tissues
29
A giant cell
is a mass formed by the union of several distinct cells (usually macrophages), often forming a granuloma
30
4 types of giant cells
langhans foreign body silicone warthin-finkeldy
31
Infectious granulomatous diseases
tuberculosis leprosy syphilis
