16
Q

process by which WBC are drawn to the site of inflammation

A

chemotaxis

17
Q

mediators in movement..

A

exogenous- bacterial polysaccharides

endogenous- leukotrienes, interleukin-8, b4, c5a

18
Q

role of leukocytes

A

recognize foreign particles through mannose and scavengers receptors

19
Q

particles that bind foreign material and signal leukocytes to remove it

20
Q

types of opsonins

A
  • igG
  • c3b
  • collectins
21
Q

exudation of serum and seen in viral infection and burn

22
Q

protein poor fluid

A

Transudate

23
Q

specific gravity of transudate

24
Q

protein-rich fluid

25
specific gravity of exudate
>1.020
26
content of purulent inflammation
neutrophils, protein, necrotic cells and bacteria
27
where do purulent infection seen?
bacterial infection and fungal infection
28
outcomes of AI
``` Resolution abcess formation ulcer fistula formation scar ```
29
inciting agent was removed, the organ affected must be capable of regeneration
resolution
30
walled of collection of pus (necrotic debris and neutrophils)
abcess formation
31
loss of mucosa and deeper tissues
ulcer
32
only the mucosa is lost
erosion
33
layers of ulcers
fibrin (necrotic debris) neutrophils granulation tissue fibrosis
34
location of ulcer
GIT ( stomach and duodenum)
35
anomalous patent connection
fistula
36
complications of ulcer
pain, hemorrhage, perforation
37
complications of fistula
infections can enter other organs, massive hemmorhage
38
complications of abcess formation
pain, fever, rupture and swelling
39
replacement of lost parenchyma with disorganized connective tissue
scar formation
