A
Inflammation
2

A
Cardinal Signs
Rubor; Redness Calor: Heat production (Hypermia) Dolor: Pain Tumor: Swelling Function Laesa: Loss of function
4
Q
Mechanism in the Vascular Response
A
- Increase release of Histamine
- Vasodilation
- Increase blood Flow
- Rubor and Calor
- Increase capillary permeability
- Plasma leakage to tissue
- Tumor and Dolor
5
Q
Mechanism in Cellular Response
A
- 30 - 60 mins - PMNs
- Peak in 16-18 hrs - Macrophages
- APRs: CRP/Serum amyloid > AAP/Fibrinogen > Haptoglobin > Ceruloplasmin/C3
6
Q
Mechanism in Repair
A
Increase Fibroblast proliferation
- Total repair
- Abcess/Loss of function
- Granuloma
