GLOSSARY SECTION I PART D Flashcards
extrinsic pathway to prevent physiologic cellular apoptosis
determined by the cell surface molecules (TNF family)
receptor death
recognizes microbes, products of bacteria, endotoxin DNA
toll-like receptor
tissue goes back to normal
regeneration
with CT-forms a scar
replacement
from the animal proteins-prototype for systemic type III reaction
abs form 5 days after injection, ABs react with Ag and deposit in blood and trigger an inflammatory reaction
large complex cleared quickly and small, cleared less efficiently
10 days
acute serum sickeness
results from cardiac pump failure due to MI, arrhythmias, outflow obstruction, cardiac tamponade
cardiogenic shock
results from loss of blood flow or plasma volume due to hemorrhoids, fluid loss, trauma
hypovolemic shock
carcinogen
cigarette smoking, sunlight
acquired pre-neoplastic disorder
solar keraotsis
excessive production of AcTH or AcTH like peptide by a tumor in the anterior pituitary
50% have lung cancer
Cushing syndrome
symptoms that aren’t readily explained by either local or distant spread of tumor or by the elaboration of hormones indigenous to the tissue from which the tumor arose
earliest manifestations of a malignancy
can be lethal
mimics a metastatic disease
paraneoplastic syndrome
fever, leukocytosis, elevated plasma levels of acute phase reactants
TNF and IL-1 cause fever, fatigue, anorexia, leukocytosis
systemic effects of chronic inflammation
common cause of death because they are occlusive
seen in MI and stroke can be in the heart and embolize
arterial thrombosis
most occur in superficial or deep leg
- superficial causes local problems
- deep typically at or above the knee, embolize to lungs
venous thrombosis
cytokine that can cause cell death
important for fibroblast proliferation, chemotaxis, collagen synthesis and collagenase synthesis
implicated in tumor suppression, septic shock. cachexia
tumor necrosis factor
