IC10 Physio (Inflammation) Flashcards
3 functions of skeleton
- Main storage for Ca and phosphorous (regulate mineral balance btw bloodstream and bone)
- Form, support, stability, movement
- Parts of skeletal system: bone, ligament, muscle, tendon, cartilage, other connective tissue
function of bone marrow
- Red — hematopoeisis
- Yellow — fatty connective tissue (source of fat, used in times of starvation)
3 functions of muscles
- Keep bones in place, role in movement
- Skeletal muscles are attached to bones and arranged in opposing groups around joints
- Muscles are innervated — nerves conduct electrical currents from the CNS that cause muscles to contract
Tendons vs joints vs ligaments
- Tendon: tough flexible band of fibrous connective tissue, connect muscle to bone
- Ligament: connect ends of bones together to form a joint, limit joint dislocation and restrict improper hyperextension and hyperflexion
- Bursae: provide cushions between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint
How does immune system respond to non-pathogenic insults
- During tissue injury/ cell death, DAMPS are released
- DAMPS are recognised by PRR on APC -> trigger immune system -> inflammation
what DAMP activates neutrophils to release more DAMPS/ cytokines
CXCL8
what DAMP activate monocyte to inflammatory monocyte
CCL2
what cytokine stimulate inflammatory monocyte to inflammatory macrophage
INF-y, TNF-a, IL-1
what cytokine stimulate stimulate inflammatory macrophages to become tissue repair macrophages
IL-4, IL-10, IL-13
Tissue repair macrophages produce (blank) for repair process
growth factors PDGF, VEGF, IGF-1
repair processess include…
- Cell mobilisation
- Proliferation
- Differentiation
- Tissue stem cell activation
- Angiogenesis
(impaired healing, scarring, fibrosis) inflammatory macrophages are stimulated by what cytokine?
inflammatory macrophages when stimulated by IL-4 becomes pro-fibrotic macrophage
what does pro-fibrotic macrophage release?
- MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases) to increase ECM deposition
- (growth factors) TGF-ß and PDGF to activate scar forming myofibroblast — important for forming scar in muscles
(regeneration) inflammatory macrophages are stimulated by what cytokine?
inflammatory macrophages when stimulated by IL-10 becomes anti-inflammatory anti-fibrotic macrophage → inhibit scarring
Regulatory T cells when stimulated by which cytokine also becomes anti-inflammatory anti-fibrotic macrophage?
IL-10
Function of pericyte
important for angiogenesis; activate stem/progenitor cell that is important for the renewal of cells during regeneration
IGF-1 (insulin GF-1) function
stimulate stem/progenitor cell that is important for the renewal of cells during regeneration
Tx of soft tissue injury
- Tx: anti-inflammatory drugs
1. NSAID — inhibit COX
2. Glucocorticoids — inhibit inflammatory response
