Inflammation Flashcards
Ultimate goals of inflammation repair?
Restore function, replace damaged tissue, promote regeneration of normal tissue
Inflammation “signs”
Heat, Redness, Swelling, Pain, and loss of function
How long is inflammation phase?
1 to 6 days
How long is proliferation phase?
3 to 20 days
How long is maturation phase?
9 days to 2 years
Inflammation Phase
Prepares wound for healing by destroying, diluting and isolating cells or agents that may be at fault. (Necessary prerequisite for healing)
Proliferation phase
Rebuild damaged structures and strengthens the wound
Maturation phase
Modifies the scar tissue into its mature form
What are the four inflammation phases
Vascular Response
Hemostatic Response
Cellular Response
Immune Response
Hyperemia
Increase in blood
Pain results from
The pressure of swelling and form irritation of pain-sensitive structures by chemicals released from damage cells
What causes vasodilation and increased permeability in venules?
Histamine
Histamine attracts _____________ to damaged tissue?
Leukocytes (WBC)
What’s two mediators control inflammation phase
Humoral and neural mediators
Vascular response sequence
Transient constriction —> vasodilation—>leukocyte migration—> increased vascular permeability
Vascular Respone
Swelling and redness
Homeostatic Response
Controls blood loss when vessels are damaged
Cellular Response
Leukocytes migrate to site to clear area of debris; sets stage for tissue repair
