IASM 69 70 72 73: Acute & Chronic Inflammation, T Cells Flashcards
What 4 types of WBCs are responsible for chronic inflammation. Name the transformation between two of them
Monocytes => Macrophages
T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes
In the activation stage of Macrophages:
There is a positive feedback
Macrophage => Activated Macrophage (What substance is required?)
Lymphocyte => Activated Lymphocyte (What substance is required?)
Why is it a positive feedback, briefly explain
In the activation stage of Macrophages:
There is a positive feedback
Macrophage => Activated Macrophage (What substance is required?): IFN-Gamma
Lymphocyte => Activated Lymphocyte (What substance is required?): Interleukin 1, Tumour Necrosis Factor
IFN-Gamma is released from activated lymphocytes (Refer to IASM 67)
IL-1 and TNF are released from activated Macrophages
Macrophages have a single nucleus and an abundant __________ cytoplasm
Foamy cytoplasm
Chronic Inflammation Effects
Try to name 2
Chronic Inflammation Effects
- Fever, Leukocytosis
- Hyperplasia of lymphoid system
- Immune response with antibody production
- Systemic amyloidosis (build up of abnormal protein)
Why is Granulomatous Inflammation sometimes?
In response to an agent that is resistant to eradication
What components (cells) are inside the tubercle?
Langhan’s Giant cells
T lymphocytes
Macrophages
Compare acute inflammation and Chronic Inflammation
- Duration
- Nature
- Response
Compare acute inflammation and Chronic Inflammation
- Duration: Short VS Long
- Nature: Exudative VS Proliferative
- Response: Resolution VS Fibrosis and Tissue Destruction
Name 3 types of multinucleated giant cells in a Granuloma
Langhans Giant Cells
Foreign Body Giant Cells
Touton Giant Cell
Name the 4 features of an inflammation
Redness
Swelling
Warmth
Pain
Name the cells responsible for tackling acute inflammation
Neutrophil
Name the 4 steps of acute inflammation 1. 2. 3. 4.
- Margination: Neutrophils adhere to the vessel wall
- Diapedesis: Neutrophils pass through the vessel wall
- Chemotaxis: Neutrophil moves towards site of tissue damage by chemical signals
- Phagocytosis: Engulf bacteria
Cell-derived Mediators in Acute Inflammation Where are they released from 1. Histamine 2. 5-HT 3. Cytokine 4. Chemokine 5. Nitric Oxide 6. Arachidonic Acid Metabolites (try)
- Histamine- Mast cells
- 5-HT- Blood Platelets
- Cytokine- Macrophages
- Chemokine- Macrophages
- Nitric Oxide- Endothelial cells
- Arachidonic Acid Metabolites- Various WBCs
What are the effects of the above stuff
- Histamine
- 5-HT
- Cytokine
- Chemokine
- Nitric Oxide
- Arachidonic Acid Metabolites (try)
- Histamine- Vasodilation
- 5-HT- Increase Vascular Permeability (Increase diapedesis)
- Cytokine- Increase neutrophil adhesion to vessel wall (Increase margination)
- Chemokine- Attract neutrophils to the damaged site (Increase chemotaxis)
- Nitric Oxide- Increase Vascular Permeability (Increase diapedesis)
- Arachidonic Acid Metabolites (try)- Increase Vasodilation and Increase Vascular Permeability
Histamine are released from mast cells
Yet they are stored in mast cells and ________
Stored in mast cells and basophils
Arachidonic Acid are converted to _____________ when there is Tissue Injury
Converted to prostaglandins
