Exudate

34
Q

What is the specific gravity of Exudate

A

> 1.020

35
Q

Inflammation that is seen in bacterial and fungal infection. Its appearance is pus-thick, white yellow fluid. The fluid contains neutrophils,protein, necrotic cells and bacteria.

A

Purulent inflammation

36
Q

Outcomes of Acute Inflammation

A

Resolution (recovery)
Inciting agent is removed
All damage cells is repaired

37
Q

Walled of collection of pus

A

Abscess

38

51
Q

Involves regeneration of the parenchyma or replacement of damages tissue with a scar if regeneration is not possible

A

Repair

52
Q

Regeneration of cells combined with scarring and fibrosis

A

Healing

53
Q

Components of healing

A
  • Induction of inflammatory process
  • Formation of new blood vessels
  • Production of extracellular matrix
  • tissue remodeling
  • wound contacture
  • increasing wound strength
54
Q

Inflammatory process

A
  • acts to contain damage
  • removing infecting substance
  • remove dead tissue
  • start deposition of extracellular matrix
55
Q

4 processes of replacement by scar

A
  • formation of new blood vessels
  • migration and proliferation of fibroblasts
  • deposition of extracellular matrix
  • maturation and recognization of tissue/fibers
56
Q

Type of healing if wound has clean edges, close reapproximation of margins and minimal tissue disruption

A

Healing by first intention

57
Q

Type of healing if wound has unclean edges, extensive tissue disruption and tissue necrosis

A

Healing by second intention

58
Q

2 factors that may impair the process of wound healing

A

General factors

Mechanical factors

59
Q

General factors such as:

A

Infection
Nutritional deficiency
Glucocorticoid therapy
Result in decrease fibrosis

60
Q

Mechanical factors such as:

A

Deniscence

Poor perfusion

61
Q

Unintentional reopening of the wound due to pressure or torsion

A

Deniscence

62
Q

Decrease amount of blood available for healing

A

Poor perfusion

63

Protective response to rid the body of the cause of cell injury.

A

Inflammation
