Heat (calor)redness (rubor)swelling (tumor)pain (dolor)loss of function (functio laesa)(TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 71
An ultrafiltrate of blood which contains little protein, little or no cellular material and low specific gravity as a result of osmotic or hydrostatic imbalance across the vessel wall WITHOUT increase in vascular permeability.
Transudate. (TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 73
An extravascular fluid with high protein content. Its presence implies an increased vascular permeability, triggered by tissue injury and ongoing inflammatory reaction.

Molecules in the endothelium and leukocyte responsible for this stage of vascular inflammatory response: Rolling

C, B, D, A (TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 75
Process of coating microorganisms with proteins that facilitate phagocytosis.
Opsonization (TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 75
A lymphocyte with ingested microorganism fused with lysosome is called _______.
Phagolysosome(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 78
The process of migration of the leukocytes through the endothelium.
Transmigration or diapedesis. (TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 76
Process of leukocyte migration toward sites of infection or injury along a chemical gradient.
Chemotaxis (TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 77
The most important lysosomal enzyme involved in bacterial killing.
Elastase(TOPNOTCH)
A peptide leukocyte granule constituent which kills microbes by creating holes in their membranes.
Defensins(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed. p.40
Predominant form of leukocyte during the first 6 - 24 hours of inflammation.
Neutrophils(TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 77
Predominant form of leukocyte during 24-48 hrs after the onset of inflammation.
Monocytes(TOPNOTCH) Robbins Basic Pathology, 9th ed. p. 77

Substances responsible for leukocyte-induced tissue injury
Lysosomal enzymes, reactive oxygen and nitrogen species.(TOPNOTCH)
Defective synthesis of CD 18 B-subunit of leukocyte integrins LFA-1 and Mac-1, leading to impaired leukocyte adhesion and migration through endothelium.
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed. p.41
Caused by a defect in fucose metabolism resulting in absence of sialyl-lewis X, the oligosaccharide on leukocytes that binds to selectins on activated endothelium.
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 2(TOPNOTCH)Robbins Basic Pathology, 8th ed. p.41
Results from a defect in the protein involved in membrane docking and fusion.
