Exam 2: pain inflamaiton medication Flashcards
3 phases of Healing
- Inflammation
- Proliferation
- Maturation
Inflammation Phase (general)
Prepares for healing
Proliferation phase (general)
rebuilds and
strengthens damaged tissue
Maturation phase (general)
modifies tissue to mature form
Inflammation phase (specific)
- 1-6 days
- Induced by disease/trauma
- Cardinal signs of inflammation present
- hyperemia
- swelling
- pain from pressure
Inflammation phase time
1-6 days
Cardinal signs of inflammation (5)
- Calor
- Rubor
- Tumor
- Dolor
- Functio laessa
Hyperemia
Increased blood flow (redness, erythema)
occurs with inflammation
erythema
reddening of skin
occurs with inflamation
Calor
heat.
one of the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation
Rubor
Redness.
one of the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation
Tumor (in regards to inflammation)
swelling.
one of the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation
Dolor
pain.
(In inflammation: caused by chemical mediators released during inflammation and from pressure from swelling)
one of the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation
Functio laessa
decrease in function.
one of the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation (this one was recently added)
Swelling (in inflammation)
also known as tumor
increased permeability of cells and vasodilation
often accompanied by ecchymosis
Ecchymosis
a discoloration of the skin resulting from bleeding underneath, typically caused by bruising.
Injuries causing inflammation: (8)
- sprains, strains, & contusions
- Fractures
- Foreign bodies (sutures)
- Autoimmune diseases (RA)
- Microbial agents
- chemical agents
- thermal agents (burns/frostbite)
- Irradiation (UV or radiation)
Sprain
ligament tear
strain
tendon tear
contusion
bruise:
bone or soft tissue
How is inflammatory process triggered?
mast cells, the most important activator (NOT the trigger)
How do mast cells induce inflammation (2 ways)
- Degranulation
- release of contents of mast cell granules
- Acute
- Synthesis
- new production and release of mediators in response to stimuli
- Long term
Mast cell degranulation
Acute: release of contents of mast cell granules within seconds:
- Histamines
- Chemotactic Factors
Mast cell synthesis (what it is and 3 things synthesized)
Activated mast cells begin new synthesis of inflammatory mediators to be released later:
- Leukotrienes
- Prostaglandins
- platelet-activating factors
Long term response (takes over from histamine response)
