Exam 2: Inflammation Flashcards
Reaction of vascularized livin tissues to injury
Inflammation
What are the 5 signs of swelling?
- redness
- heat
- swelling
- pain
- loss of function
What are the 3 roles of inflammation
- Dilute and isolate injury
- Destroy invading microorganisms or inactivate toxins
- achieve healing and repair
What are the 3 outcomes of inflammation
- Ideal: return to normal
- Intense resp: attempt to separate injured tissue
- Failure to eliminate insult
What are the 3 steps for inflammation can return to normal?
- elimination of source of injury
- resolution of inflammation
- restoration of normal physiological funct.
What happens during an intense inflammatory response?
attempt to isolate inflammatory process, formation of wall (capsule)
What happens when there is a failure to eliminate the insult?
persistent inflam. cells and scar formation
T/F inflammation can only occur in living tissue
T
T/F Inflammation can be more harmful to the animal than the initial stimulus
T
What happens to the cells involved in inflammation once the stimulus is eliminated?
- mediators are broken down and dissipated
- WBCs have short lifespan in tissues
- Anti-inflam mech. are activated
repair begins during inflam. and it is completed when ____
when stimuli has been neutralized
What are the two ways damaged tissue can be replaced?
- regeneration of native parenchymal cells
2. scaring with fibrous tissue
Escape of fluid, proteins, and blood cells from the vascular system into the interstitium or body cavities
Exudation
Exudate is an Inflammatory extravascular fluid that has what 3 things
- high protein conc.
- much cellular debris
- specific gravity above 1.020
Essentially an ultrafiltrate of blood plasma and results from hydrostatic imbalances across the vascular endothelium
Transudate
T/F. transudate has a low protein content
T
T/F Transuate has a specific gravity above 1.020
F. below
exudate is above
Denotes an excess of fluid in the interstitial tissue or serous cavities, it can be an exudate or transudate
Edema
An inflammatory exudate rich in leucocytes and parenchymal cell debris
Pus
What are the 2 components of a basic/simple classification of inflamm.
- exudate
2. duration
What are the 4 categories of inflammation describing the duration?
- peracute
- acute
- subacute
- chronic
List the 3 main characteristics of peracute inflammation
- caused by potent stimulus
- animal has no time to respond
- less common than acute
what are the clinical signs of peracute inflam.
Shock and sudden death
Infam that occurs in 0-4 hrs?
peracute inflam
Inflam that occurs in 4-6 hrs
Acute
Which cells predominate in Acute inflam
Neutrophils
Inflammation of lymphatic vessels
Lymphangitis
type of inflam. characterized by Gradual change, between acute and crhronic
Subacute
This term is used when the inflam. resp. does not include reparative responses such as fibroplasia and angiogenesis
Subacute inflam
Inflam that spans from a few days to a few weeks
Subacute
What cells predominate during subacute inflam
Neutrophils, lymphocytes, macropahges, plasma cells
Type of inflam that is often the result of a persistent inflam. stimulus in which the host has failed to completely eliminate the causative agent
Chronic
In chronic inflam. the inflam resp. is usually accompanied by and _____
IR
term for scar formation
fibrosis
____ inflam. is characterized by proliferation of capillaries and small blood besssels
Chronic
Which cells predominate in chronic inflam
Mononuclear inflam cells: lymphocytes Macrophages Plasma cells Fibroblasts
Single abnormality or inflamed area within a tissue
Focal inflammation
arising from or pertaining to many foci
Multifocal
involves a considerable zone of tissue within an inflamed organ
Locally extensive
Although variations in severity of the inflam. may occur, the entire tissue is involved. often viral or toxic in etiology
Diffuse
What are the 3 most common types of exudate?
- Suppurative
- Fibrinous
- serous
Exudate consisting of, or containing pus, associated with the formation of pus
Suppurative/ purulent Exutation
A liquid inflammation product composed of dead cells, leukocytes, and fluids from edema
pus
