Q

During inflammation, our blood vessels are permeable, therefore it will open and there will be blood entry leading to the redness of the inflamed part

Q

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO DURATION

A

Acute
Chronic
Sub Acute/ Chronic

25
Q

Short type of inflammation

A

Acute

26
Q

Acute

The responsible WBCs to fight this type of inflammation are_____

A

Neutrophils

27
Q

The problem for neutrophils is that they have a______

A

short life span (1-5 days)

28
Q

• Long term type of inflammation

A

Chronic

29
Q

Chronic

• The responsible WBCs are_____

A

Monocytes

30
Q

When you get a test for CBC, monocytes will have the highest count in your bloodstream

A

Chronic

31
Q

• In between Acute and Chronic

• When you have your blood tested, the increased WBCs are ___________

A

Sub Acute/Chronic

Neutrophils and Monocytes

32
Q

CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO LOCATION

A

Localized

Generalized/ Systemic

33
Q

o Ex: Pimples
• Inflammation only in that one area
• Not widespread; Only found on one side/part of the body

A

Localized

34
Q

• Is widespread
It can be that the entire organ or entire system is affected
• Ex: Gingivitis,

A

Generalized/Systemic

35
Q

COMPONENTS OF INFLAMMATION
ACCORDING TO CHARACTER OF EXUDATE

A

Serous
Fibrinous
Catarrhal
Suppurative/ Purulent
Hemorrhagic

36
Q

• Watery; protein-poor

• Ex: Chicken Pox

A

SEROUS

37
Q

• Protein-rich (such as fibrinogen)
• More severe compared to
Serous
• Blood vessels are opened resulting in the escape of proteins

A

Fibrinous

38
Q

• Mucus and debris
• Common for patients with
Tuberculosis
• Ex: Cough, Sipon

A

Catarrhal

39
Q

Pus and abcess

A

Suppurative/ Purulent

40
Q

• Composed of dead neutrophils, necrotic cells, and edema fluid

A

Pus

41
Q

Collection of Pus

• Accumulated amount of Pus

A

Abscess

42
Q

RBC leakage or Leakage of blood
• Ex: Hematoma

A

Hemorrhagic

43
Q

Examples of serous

A

• Skin Blisters
• Pericarditis

44
Q

Examples of fibrinous

A

Adhesions Following Surgery

45
Q

Example of catarrhal

A

Runny nose as with
Common Cold

46
Q

Example of purulent

A

Abscesses, Boils, Cellulitis

47
Q

Example of hemorrhagic

A

Hematoma

48
Q

The goal of ______ after inflammation is to restore the normal structure

A

tissue repair

49
Q

THREE TYPES OF CELLS ACCORDING TO THEIR GENERATING CAPACITY

A

Labile cells
Stable cells
Permanent cells

50
Q

o divide actively throughout its lifespan
o capable of regeneration every after injury

A

Labile cells

51
Q

ex: hematopoietic cells of the bone marrow, lining of the surface of the genitourinary tract, epidermis of the skin

A

Labile cells

52
Q

capable of regenerating only when
needed

Go phase of the cell cycle but they can further progress to the cell cycle

A

Stable cells

53
Q

ex: hepatocytes, renal tubular cells

A

Stable cells

54
Q

cannot regenerate because they are incapable of division

A

Permanent cells

55
Q

ex: neurons, myocardial cells

A

Permanent cells

56
Q

TISSUE REPAIR

A

• Cellular proliferation

• During repair process - removal of debris

• Formation of granulation tissue

• Scarring

• Progressive contraction of wound occurs resulting in the deformity of the original structure

57
Q

• has many factors fibroblast is the most important component
• fibroblast will turn into a scar
• growth factors

A

Cellular proliferation

58
Q

• granulation consists of capillaries and fibroblasts

it fills defects created by liquefaction of the cellular debris

A

Formation of granulation tissue

59
Q

fibroblast produces collagen and collagen will produce ____

A

Scarring
