28
Q

substances found in the plasma inside
the blood vessel or they are secreted by cells that participate
in the inflammatory response

A

Chemical mediators

29
Q

manifested by formation of gaps in the
endothelial lining of the blood vessels

A

Increase vascular permeability

30
Q

group of molecules synthesized in the liver and release in the circulation in response to acute inflammatory response

A

acute phase reactants

31
Q

Local defect or excavation of the surface of an organ or tissue that is produced by sloughing(orshedding) of the inflammatory necrotic tissue.

A

Ulcers

32
Q

Characterized when there is activation of the procurement
factors in the blood so this will result in the deposition of fibrin.

A

Fibrous inflammation

33
Q

true or false: chemical mediators are short live

A

true

34
Q

True or False: Presence of polymorphonuclear leucocytes is the hallmark of chronic inflammation

A

False (its the hallmark for acute infla)

35

endothelial, epithelial, and connective tissue cells) that modulate the functions of other cell types.

A

Cytokines

36
Q

Excess fluid with low protein content

A

Transudate

37
Q

Edema fluid with high protein content which
frequently contains inflammatory cells.

A

Exudate

38
Q

True or False: In granulomatous infalmmation, lymphocytes undergo changes In structure that transforms them into plasma cells

A

False: they transform to epithelioid cells

39
Q

Reaction of a tissue and its microcirculation to a
pathologic insult

Q

Leukocyte chemotaxis and activation, vasodilation
(mast cell stimulation)

A

Complement products
(C5a, C3a, C4a)

44
Q

have negative charges. They are
unstable compounds and they are highly reactive to cellular
systems that is why they are very destructive
