Q

type of exudates that is a clear fluid that is low in protein that exudes from serosal or mucosal surfaces following mild irritation. Ex. Runny nose seen in many

25
fibrinous exudates, the fibrous organization of the exudates forms what is called
adhesion
26
In severe mucosal damage where the epithelia are lost, the fibrin that accumulates may become tightly adherent to the underlying tissue forming what is known as
diphtheritic membrane or pseudomembrane.
27
– when red blood cells are the predominating cellular component, the exudates are called
Hemorrhagic exudates
28
hemorrhagic exudates sometimes called
sanginous exudates
29
when hemorrhagic exudates coupled with a thin fluid where it imparts a red tinge color, the exudates are called
serosanguineous exudates.
30
exudates are characterized by the production of pus (suppuration) which is a thick creamy fluid composed of a large number of viable and dead polymorphs.
Purulent or Suppurative exudates
31
A species that their heterophils lack the hydrolytic enzymes, purulent exudates are semi-solid compared to the fluid nature of the exudates seen in mammals.
Avian
32
Purulent exudates are characteristically associated with certain types of
pyogenic bacteria
33
purulent exudates are admixed with mucus, the term is ?
mucopurulent exudates
34
exudates are admixed with fibrin, the term ?
fibrinopurulent
35
is a viable collection of pus within or beneath the epidermis of the skin,
pustule
36
is a localized collection of pus, usually confined with a diphtheritic membrane or pyogenic membrane.
abscess
37
An abscess is said to be _____ when it is encapsulated in this membrane and not showing any sign of progression of the reaction,
cold
38
______indication that is an abscess inflammatory reaction is ongoing.
hot
39
an abscess that may rupture at a surface through a tract called
sinus or fistulous tract;
40
abscess that may may spread along fascial planes and subcutaneous tissues and is called
cellulitis or phlegmonous inflammation;
41
Pus contained in body cavities is called
empyema
42
occur on mucus membranes and mucosal surfaces of the alimentary tract, respiratory, and reproductive tract.
Catarrhal exudates
43
cells are the first to migrate at the site of inflammation attracted by chemotactic factors,
neutrophil
44
life span of neutrophil
24-48 hours.
45
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.
eosinophils
46
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.
BASOPHILS
47
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.
LYMPHOCYTES
48
Formed from transformed B-lymphocytes, they produce antibodies and their presence in an inflammatory site reflects a subacute or chronic process.
PLASMA CELLS
49
The formation of mature plasma cells from lymphocytes requires about
4-5 days.
50
less common than neutrophils, and arrive at the site of inflammation later than the polymorphs (granulocytes).
Monocytes and Macrophages.
51
plump aggregates of macrophages,
epithelioid cells
52
are large multinucleated cells formed by the fusion of macrophages.
giant cells
53
more commonly encountered types of macrophage are the?
foreign body giant cell Langhan’s type giant cell.
54
Found during repair phase, They multiply rapidly at site and secrete globular protein that precipitate as macromolecular collagen fibers in the interstitium.
fibroblast
55
is sometimes called exudative inflammation because of the numerous tissue and plasma factors that pours into the inflammatory site.
acute inflammation
56
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.
chronic inflammation
57
Chronic inflammation may take several forms as ______ ______ where an ulcer is not repaired,
chronic ulceration
58
chronic inflammation where there is fibrous encapsulation of pus,
abscessation
59
chronic inflammation that is characterized by the formation of granulation tissue that is heavily infiltrated with macrophages, polymorphs, lymphocytes and plasma cells.
chronic granulomatous inflammation.
60
a term used to describe small nodular lesions of chronic inflammation that has a caseous center walled off by epithelioid cells, macrophages and fibroblasts.
granuloma
61
lesions are usually small and surrounded by normal tissue.
focal
62
well demarcated, the lesion is said to be
discrete
63
but if it blends well with the surrounding normal tissue, it is said to be
diffuse focal
64
lesions represent several scattered foci of inflammation.
Multi-focal
65
lesion involves a considerable are of tissue within an organ, the lesion is said to be
locally extensive.
66
inflammatory lesions involve all of the tissue or the whole organ.
diffuse
67
invariably occurs, and is due to enzymes and other products released by infiltrating cells, and the production of free radicals by these cells.
tissue damage
68
A fairly constant accompaniment of inflammation, _____ is the rise in body temperature.
fever or pyrexia
69
are substances that induce fever,
pyrogens
70
leucocyte counts may either be increased becuase of bone marrow increased mobilization
(leukocytosis)
71
decreased ______ when bone marrow production is depressed.
leukopenia
72
two processes of healing:
healing by repair healing by regeneration.
73
involved in healing by second intention, also called healing by
granulation
74
This tissue that fill-in the gap is called
granulation tissue
75
inflammation is complete and has successfully eliminated the noxious agent, repair by _____ follows
resolutions
76
In cases where there is incomplete resolution of inflammation, repair by_____ follows
organization
77
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.
regeneration
78
species lost most of their capacity to regenerate total body structures from evolutionary processes, and the replacement of lost tissue is principally through repair.
simpler aquatic, amphibian, and reptilian species, mammalian
79
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.
labile cells
80
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.
stable cells
81
these cells cannot regenerate and therefore damage to these cells represents permanent loss.
permanent cells
82
growth may give rise to mass of tangled fibers sometimes called ( take note it's a non functional)
“amputation or traumatic neuroma”
83
may occur accumulation of excessive amounts of collagen giving rise to a protruding tumor-like scar tissue known as
keloid

excessive formation of granulation tissues that protrudes above the level of injury this is known as
exuberant granulation or proudflesh.
85
delays healing for they interfere with the maturation of collagen and in the on-going inflammatory process.
