Inflammation Flashcards
Phases of healing
Inflammation and repair and remodeling
Decrease excessive blood loss
Confine injurious agent
Destroy and remove the injurious agent
Stimulate the healing process
Regeneration or repair of injured tissue to restore function
Hemostasis
Vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation
Formation of a fibrin clot
Platelets release, chemokines
Migration of inflammatory sells
Mast cells, degranulate, and release histamine
Degeneration
Hematoma and necrotic zone
Inflammation begins
Order of phases of healing
Hemostasis and degeneration
Inflammation
Proliferation and migration
Remodeling and maturation
Inflammation
Vasodilation- increases blood flow and pressure
Capillary permeability
Exudate - movement of plasma in proteins from blood vessels to injured tissue
Edema
Endothelial cells to retract and create gaps
Fluid plasma, proteins, neutrophils, migrate out of vessels into interstitial space
(Neutrophils slip through gaps and walk out of the vessel - diapedesis- to the toxic agent)
Four cardinal signs of inflammation
Calor- heat
Rubor- redness
Tumor- swelling
Dolor- pain
Funcio laesa - disturbed function
Circulatory changes
Active hyperemia- vasoconstruction, dilation of arterioles
Stasis - sluggish, blood flow
Hemodynamic changes - RBC rouleaux formation of Endothelial cells to retract
Leukocyte accumulation
Margination of neutrophils
Diapedesis- leukocytes squeeze through the spaces
Chemical mediation
Chemotaxis - migration of leukocytes space on a chemical gradient to the injured site
Neutrophils
Polymorphonuclear (pmn)
Secret chemical mediators
First phagocyte on injured site
short lifespan
Amount in exudate - diagnostic
Macrophages
Next phagocyte on site
Modulate the activity of lymphocytes
Longer inflammation process
Points to chronic
Monocytes
Turn into macrophages at the tissue level phagocytic
Mast cells
Release stored histamine (creates congestion)
Synthesize arachidonic acid derivatives
