inflammation Flashcards
what are the signs of swelling
pain, heat, swelling, redness
what does S.C.I.D stand for and means
severer combined immunodeficiency
lacking b and t type lymphocytes
what is the purpose of inflammation
cellular delivery: influx of inflammatory cells
humoral delivery, compliments antibodies and cytokines
why can inflammation cause damage
release of toxic mediators such as proteolytic enzymes and reaxtive oxygen species
what are the types of leukocytes(immune cell)
macrophage, monocyte, eosinophil, basophil, lymphocytes, neutrophils
how would you identify monocytes
large cell with kidney bean nucleas
how would you identify basophils
granular nucleus
how do you identify eosinophils
two paired lobed nucleus(balls)
how do you identify lymphocytes
full nucleus, small cell, little space
how do you identify neutrophils
multi lobed nucleus (not balls)
what are cytokines and chemokines
proteins secreted by cells
what do cytokines and chemokines do
orchestrate immune recruiting and activation and enable cell communication network
what types of redundancy are in cytokines
Different cytokines can have the same function
Different cell types can secrete the same cytokine
A single cytokine can act on several cell types
are cytokines anti-inflammatory
cytokines can be pro or anti-inflammatory
which immune cells are residential
macrophages and dendritic cells
