attracted by chemotactic factors,

A

44
Q

life span of neutrophil

A

45
Q

very much like neutrophils in that they have granules containing an assortment of enzymes, are phagocytic,
prominent in certain parasitic infections and in allergic
reactions.

A

eosinophils

46
Q

Considered as the circulating form of mast cells, their number in circulation is very low. _____play an important role in hypersensitivity reactions, where they produce histamine.

A

BASOPHILS

47
Q

are not phagocytic, and do not ordinarily migrate
during the acute phase of inflammation, commonly seen in chronic inflammation, and more importantly in viral
infections.________ are associated with the host’s immune response and are often present in lesions around small blood vessels where they form a cuff called
perivascular cuffing.

A

LYMPHOCYTES

48
Q

Formed from transformed B-lymphocytes, they produce antibodies and their presence in an inflammatory site
reflects a subacute or chronic process.

PLASMA CELLS

49
Q

The formation of mature plasma cells from
lymphocytes requires about

A

4-5 days.

50
Q

less common than neutrophils, and
arrive at the site of inflammation later than the polymorphs (granulocytes).

Monocytes and Macrophages.

51
Q

plump aggregates of macrophages,

A

epithelioid cells

52
Q

Langhan’s type giant cell.

54
Q

Found during repair phase, They
multiply rapidly at site and secrete globular protein that precipitate as macromolecular collagen fibers in the interstitium.

A

fibroblast

55
Q

is sometimes called exudative inflammation because of
the numerous tissue and plasma factors that pours into the inflammatory site.

A

acute inflammation

56
Q

occurs when the injurious stimuli persist over a long
period. It is often called proliferative inflammation because it is characterized by proliferation of cells than exudation of cells and fluid.

Q

inflammatory lesions involve all of the tissue or the
whole organ.

A

diffuse

67
Q

invariably occurs, and is due to enzymes
and other products released by infiltrating cells, and the production of free radicals by these cells.

A

tissue damage

68
Q

A fairly constant accompaniment of inflammation, _____ is the rise in body temperature.

A

fever or pyrexia

69
Q

are substances that induce fever,

A

pyrogens

70
Q

leucocyte counts may either be increased becuase of bone marrow increased mobilization

A

(leukocytosis)

71
Q

decreased ______ when bone marrow production is
depressed.

A

leukopenia

72
Q

two processes of healing:

A

healing by repair
healing by regeneration.

73
Q

involved in healing by second intention, also called healing
by

A

granulation

74
Q

This tissue that fill-in the gap is called

A

granulation tissue

75
Q

inflammation is complete and has successfully eliminated the noxious agent, repair by _____ follows

A

resolutions

76
Q

In cases where there is incomplete resolution of inflammation, repair by_____ follows

A

organization

77
Q

implies that lost cells are replaced by cells of the same kind, and indicates cellular division of the remaining viable cells to take over the place of those lost from injury.

A

regeneration

78
Q

species lost most of their capacity to regenerate total body structures from evolutionary processes, and the replacement of lost tissue is principally through repair.

A

simpler aquatic, amphibian, and reptilian species, mammalian

79
Q

these cells continue to multiply throughout life to replace
those shed or destroyed by normal physiological processes. the surface cells exfoliate throughout life and are being replaced every few days.

A

labile cells

80
Q

retain their latent capacity to regenerate, but do not
actively replicate under normal circumstances because they have a survival time measured in terms of years, and possibly equal that of the entire lifespan of the individual.

A

stable cells

81
Q

these cells cannot regenerate and therefore damage
to these cells represents permanent loss.

A

permanent cells

82
Q

growth may give rise to mass of tangled fibers sometimes called ( take note it’s a non functional)

A

“amputation or traumatic neuroma”

83
Q

may occur accumulation of excessive amounts of collagen
giving rise to a protruding tumor-like scar tissue known as

A

keloid

84
Q

excessive formation of granulation tissues that protrudes above the level of injury this is known as

A

exuberant granulation or proudflesh.

85
Q

delays healing for they interfere with the maturation of collagen and in the on-going inflammatory process.
