  4. Digestion
  5. Excretion

MNEM: ICEDE

37
Q

What is the principle of initiation (in phagocytosis)?

A

Initiated as a result of tissue damage, either trauma / as a result of microorganism multiplication

presence of trauma / microorganism multiplication -> resulting to occurrence of tissue damage -> hence, phagocytosis will be initiated

38
Q

What are the characteristics of initiation (in phagoccytosis)?

A
  1. Activated phagocyte has increased surface receptors that allow for adherence
  2. Cell receptors are increased -> enhance adherence such as CR3, laminin, and leucyl-formyl-methionine-phenyalanine receptor (LFMP)
39
Q

What is the principle of chemotaxis (in phagocytosis)?

A

Process by w/c cells tend to move in a certain direction under the stimulation of chemical substance

40
Q

What are 2 types of chemotaxis (in phagocytosis)?

A
  1. Positive chemotaxis
  2. Negative chemotaxis
41
Q

What is the difference between positive and negative chemotaxis (in phagocytosis)?

A
  1. Positive chemotaxis: migration towards the site of stimulation
  2. Negative chemotaxis: migration towards away from site of stimulation
42
Q

What is it called if there are no influence of chemotactic substances (such as positive and/or negative chemotaxis)?

A

Cell motion is random

random, not towards / away

43
Q

What are the syndromes / dses where the cell motion is random?

A
  1. Job’s syndrome
  2. Lazy leukocyte syndrome

MEM JOG:
1. Job’s syndrome: kung san san nagttrabaho
2. Lazy leukocyte syndrome: kahit saang bagay pwedeng tamarin

44
Q

What is the principle / mechanism of engulfment (in phagocytosis)?

A

By ameboid motion

45
Q

In engulfment (in phagocytosis), what is the final structure called?

A

Phagosome / phagocytic vacuole

46
Q

What aids the process of engulfment (in phagocytosis)?

A

Opsonins
a. Abs
b Complement components (C3b)

47
Q

How does opsonins aid the process of engulfment (in phagocytosis)?

A

They interact w/ the surfaces of bacteria, rendering them acceptable to the phagocyte

48
Q

What is the principle / mechanism of digestion (in phagocytosis)?

A

Cell particle that contain hydrolytic enzymes and peroxidase approach the phagosome, fuse w/ it, rupture and discharge its contents

cell (w/c contains hydrolytic enzymes and peroxidase) approaches the phagosome -> the cell fuses w/ the phagosome -> the phagosome rupture and its contents are discharged

49
Q

What is the principle / mechanism of excretion (in phagocytosis)?

A

Contents of phagolysosome is excreted through exocytosis

50
Q

What are the sequences in destruction of the Ag?

A
  1. Formation of the phagolysosome leading to the release of lysosomal contents including defensins, lactoferrin, and lysozyme
  2. Nitric oxide produced by activated macrophages, w/c is toxic to microorganisms
  3. Activation of the NADPH oxidase, w/c is present in the phagosome membrane, leading to the production of reactive oxygen intermediates, superoxide anion, H2O2 and hydroxyl radicals, w/c are cytotoxic for microorganisms
51
Q

What is the characteristic of chronic granulomatous dse (CGD | in connection w/ destruction of Ag)?

A

The NADPH oxidase is impaired -> inability of phagocyte to kill ingested microorganism

52
Q

What is the treatment for CGD?

A

Granulocyte conc transfusion (to give new / effective phagocytic cells)

53
Q

What is inflammation?

A

Tissue rxn to injury (both cellular and humoral mechanism)

54
Q

What are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation?

A
  1. Rubor: redness
  2. Calor: heat
  3. Dolor: pain
  4. Tumor: swelling
  5. Functio laesa: loss of fxn
55
Q

What are the 3 stages of inflammation?

A
  1. Vascular response
  2. Cellular response
  3. Resolution and repair
56
Q

What are the events that happen in vascular response (in inflammation)?

A
  1. Vasodilation (1st inflammatory response) -> increase bld flow to injured cells -> promotes heat and redness
  2. Increased capillary permeability -> causing plasma leakage to tissue -> promotes swelling and pain
57
Q

What is cellular response (in inflammation)?

A

Migration of phagocytic cells

58
Q

What is the cell that is 1st to migrate (in cellular response in inflammation)?

A

Neutrophil

59
Q
  1. What is the time duration of occurrence of the cell that 1st migrates (in cellular response in inflammation)?
  2. This cell is predominant in what type of inflammation?
A
  1. Occurs within 30 - 60 mins after injury
  2. Predominant in acute inflammation
60
Q

What is the cell that is 2nd to migrate (in cellular response in inflammation)?

A

Monocyte / macrophage

61
Q
  1. What is the time duration of occurrence of the cell that 2nd migrates (in cellular response in inflammation)?
  2. This cell is predominant in what type of inflammation?
A
  1. Occurs 4 hrs after injury | peaks in 16 - 48 hrs
  2. Chronic inflammation
62
Q

What is the characteristic of 2nd migration of monocyte / macrophage (in cellular response in inflammation)?

A

Secreted monokine (IL-1) -> fever and increase production of acute phase reactants (APRs)

63
Q

What initiates resolution and repair (in cellular response in inflammation)?

A

Fibroblast proliferation

64
Q

What are the characteristics of resolution and repair (in cellular response in inflammation)?

A
  1. Affected area may be totally repaired
  2. Injury may lead to the formation of an abscess w/ some loss of fxn
  3. Granuloma may be formed, typical of delayed hypersensitivity / cell-mediated immunity
