Immunity- Wound Healing Flashcards
Cell injury comes from:
Physical injury
Deficiency of normal substance
Exposure to a toxin
1st defense
Innate
Skin
Mucous membranes
pH, lysozyme, temperature
2nd defense
Innate
Internal
Phagocytes, NK cells, inflammation, fever, anti microbial agents, leukocytes
3rd defense
Adaptive immunity
Humoral immunity- B cells
Cellular immunity- T cells
All leukocyte types
2nd line of defense Neutrophils Lymphocytes (t and b) Monocytes Eosinophils Basophils
Natural killer cells
Non-specific
Non-phagocytic
Secrete chemicals
INF
Interferon
Anti microbial protein
(Complement is another example)
Inflammatory response
Bacteria in blood Mast cell give off histamine Vasodilation Capillary permeability More blood flow and edema (exudate) Red, heat, swelling, pain
Cellular defense
T cells from thymus
Become effector cells (helper and cytotoxic and regulatory) to target intercellular pathogens
Humoral defense
B cells from bone marrow
T cells activate them to secrete antibodies that target extracellular proteins
Lab signs of acute inflammation
High WBC
High CRP
High fibrinogen
Lab signs of chronic inflammation
High CRP
High fibrinogen
High TNF alpha
Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs
Stop Cox 1- and -2 Stop prostaglandin made Raise GI acid and less mucus Down regulate renal blood flow and blood clotting Gastric bleeding and ulcers
Cox-2 inhibitors
Specific type of NSAIDS
Help with edema, pain, inflammation, and leukocytosis
Good for musculoskeletal problems
Risk strokes and heart attacks
Glucocorticoids risks
Muscle wasting
Osteoporosis
DM
Edema from vascular permeability
