Acute inflammation is the initial slow response. T/F
False
What are the main characteristics of acute inflammation?
Exudation of fluid and plasma proteins
Emigration of leukocytes and predominantly neutrophils
What’s Another name for neutrophils?
polymorphonuclear leukocytes
If the response to acute inflammation fails to clear stimulus the reaction can progress to a —— phase(chronic inflammation)
Protracted phase
Characteristics of Chronic inflammation includes?
Presence of lymphocytes and macrophages
Proliferation of blood vessels
Deposition of CT
Cardinal signs of inflammation?
Rubor(Redness)
Tumor(swelling)
Calor(heat)
Dolor(pain)
Functiolaesa(loss of function)
What are the three major components of Acute inflammation?
Dilation of blood vessels to increase blood flow
Increase permeability of microvasculature enabling proteins and leukocytes to leave the circulation
Emigration of the proteins and leukocytes from microcirculation to the site of infection to eliminate the offending agents
Vascular reactions of acute inflammation consists of?
Changes in blood flow
Permeability of vessels
What is the reason for the vascular reactions of acute inflammation?
Both designed to maximize the movement of plasma proteins and leukocytes out of circulation to the site of infection
The escape of fluid, proteins and blood cells from the vascular system into the interstitial tissue or body cavities is known as?
Exudation
What is an exudate?
It is an extracellular fluid that contains high protein concentration and contains cellular debris
A fluid with low protein content most of which is albumin with little or no cellular material and low specific gravity is KA?
Transudate
Transudate is essentially an ——— of blood plasma that is produced as a result of —— or —— imbalance across the vessel wall without an increase in ———
Ultrafiltrate
Osmotic or hydrostatic
Vascular permeability
