Inflammation Flashcards
Inflammation is the response to (2)
Tissue injury or infection
What is the purpose of inflammation?
To move immune cells and molecules from blood into the tissue
The resulting change in blood vessels and blood flow give rise to the…
Cardinal signs of inflammation
Inflammation triggers are conserved structures on — microbes or released from — cells
pathogenic
damaged
Soluble mediators increase vascular —
They also increase activation and — of —
permeability
migration
leukocytes
Vascular Changes:
Blood cell walls are activated, endothelial cells express –
leukocytes roll, bind and tether using —
Tight junctions between cells become more —
Vasoactive — increase — permeability
cells squeeze between endothelial cells by —
Cells — into tissue
cells move towards chemical gradients or —
adhesins integrins permeable amines vessel diapedesis extravasate chemokines
