exam 1: outcome of acute inflammation

Question 1

complete resolution

Answer 1

restoration of the site of acute inlammation to normal

Question 2

complete resolution is the usual outcome when

Answer 2

the injury is limited or short-lived or when there has been little tissue destruction and the damaged perenchmal cells can regenerate

Question 3

resolution involves removal of cellular debris by _____ and resorption of edema fluid by

Answer 3

macrophages; lymphatics

Question 4

healting by connective tissue replacement (scarring, firbosis) occurs when

Answer 4

after substantial tissue destruction, when the inflammatory injury involves tissues that are incapable of regeneration; or when there is abundant fibrin exudation in tissue or serous cavities that cant be adequately cleared (pleura, peritoneum)

Question 5

how does healing by connective tissue replacement occur

Answer 5

connective tissue grows into the area of damage or exudate, converting it into a mass of fibrous tissue (organization)

Question 6

progression of the response to chronic inflammation occurs when

Answer 6

acute inflammatory response cannot be resolved as a result of either the persistence of the injurious agent or some interference with the normal process of healing (abscess formation)
