Q

What are not features of subacute inflammation

A

Fibrosis and neovascularization

31
Q

When can chronic inflammation arise and what is evidence of it in tissue

A

Persistent stimulus -host has failed to eliminate causative agent

Evidence of host tissue response

  • scar formation-> fibrosis

32
Q

A

TIME: variable

Vascular involvement: proliferation of capillaries and small blood vessesl –> hemorrhage and congestion

Inflammatory cells:
-mononuclear-> lymphocytes/macrophage/plasma cells/fibroblasts

Clinical signs: prolonged duration of inflammatory lesions

Sometimes lymphatic involvement

33
Q

Single or abnormality or inflamed area in tissue

A

Focal inflammation

Usually 1mm to several cm

34
Q

Arising from or pertaining to many foci

A

Multifocal

35
Q

Distribution that involves considerable zone of tissue within a inflamed organ

A

Locally extensive

36
Q

What are the possible origins of locally extensive distribution

A

Severe local reactions that spread into adjacent normal tissue

Coalescence of foci in a multifocal reaction

37
Q

What type of distribution involves the entire tissue

A

Diffuse

38
Q

Diffuse lesions are often due to _________ or ___________ in etiology

A

Viral or toxic

39
Q

Type of exudation consisting of or containing pus

A

Suppurative

OR purulent

40
Q

Liquid inflammation composed of accumulated dead cells,leukocytes, and fluid from inflammatory edema-forming process

A

Pus

41
Q

The process by which pus is formed

A

Suppuration

-implies neutrophils and proteolytic enzymes are present, and necrosis of the host cells has occurred.

42
Q

Collection of pus walled of in a fiberous capsule

A

Abscess

43
Q

Severe injury to endothelium and basement membranes results in ____________ exudation

A

Fibrous

44
Q

Yellow-white or pale stringy/shaggy meshwork which gives a rough irregular appearance to the tissue surfaces.

A

Fibrinous inflammation

45
Q

Inflammatory process where neutrophils and fibrin are abundant

A

Fibrinopurulent exudate

46
Q

What is the difference between fibrinous exudate and fibrosis

A

Fibrinous exudate- acute
Fibrosis - chronic

Different stages of the same process: transformation of fibrinous exudate (acute) into well vascularized CT fibrosis (chronic)

Fibrin on tissue surface is easily broken
Provides support for eventual i growth of fibroblasts and neocapillaries
Removed by fibrinolysis or by phagocytosis

47
Q

Primary 
Large secondary

67
Q

_____________ is strongly toxic to parasites and cells and can cause histamine release from mast cells and basophils

A

Major basic protein

68
Q

_____________ contributes to parasite killing and shortens coagulation time

A

Eosinophilic cationic protein

69
Q

What are ways eosinophils are effective in killing helminth parasites

A

Antibody-depended cell-mediated cytoxicity
Adherence and degranulation on helminth
