Inflammation Flashcards
List of cells and molecules involved in inflammation
Leukocytes
Endothelial cells
Cells and extracellular matrix of the surrounding tissue
Plasma proteins
List of cells that releases plasma proteins
Platelets
Endothelial cella
Inflammatory cells
Types of inflammatory
Acute inflammation
Chronic inflammation
It is rapid onset, characterized by exudation of fluid and protein from vessels and emigration of neutrophils. It only last for minutes to days.
Acute inflammation
Longer time course. It involves different cell types. Tissue repair coexist with tissue destruction
Chronic inflammation
What are the different cell types involve in Chronic Inflammation?
Lymphocyte and Macrophage
5 signs/symptoms of inflammation
Heat Pain Swelling Redness Loss of function
Causes of Acute inflammation
Infection Trauma Physical and Chemical agents Necrosis Foreign bodies Immune reactions
Stages of Acute Inflammation
- Vasodilation
- Increase vascular permeability
- Movement of the WBC from the blood vessel into soft tissue at the site of inflammation
Occurs through the release of mediators from cell
Vasodilation
What cells releases Histamine
Mast cells
Basophils
Platelets
What are the three mediators that are released that causes Vasodilation
Histamine
Prostaglandin
Nitric Oxide
Mediator that is responsible for pain/fever
Prostaglandin
True or False: Vasodilation decreases the hydrostatic pressure by slowing of blood flow
False
*increases
Allows fluid to cross the interstitial tissue. Is it when retraction of endothelial cells happen.
Increase vascular permeablity
3 steps: Movement of the WBC from the blood vessel into soft tissue at the site of inflammation
▪️Rolling
▪️Pavementing
▪️Transmigration
Loose, intermittent contact of WBC. Margination of WBC from stasis of blood
Rolling
Tight, constant contact of WBC with endothelium
Pavementing
WBC crossing through the endothelial layer
Transmigration
Process by which WBC are drawn to the site of inflammation
Chemotaxis
Mediators involved,in increase vascular permeability
Histamine
Bradykinin
Leukotrienes C4, D4 and E4
Mediators involved in the movement of WBC
Exogenous- bacterial polysaccharide
Endogenous- C5a, leukotriene B4 and Interlukin-8 (IL-8)
True or False: The role of the leukocyte is to recognize foreign particles through scavenger receptors
True
Particles that bind to foreign material and signal leukocytes to remove it
Opsonins
Types of Opsonins
IgG
C3b
Collectins
