Inflammation Flashcards
Is a sistemic and local reaction of tissues and microcirculation to a pathogenic insult
inflammation
Mention the 5 key signs of inflammation
Heat Pain Redness Swelling Fuctio Laesa
When the 4 key signs of inflammation combined, that produces a
Temporary loss of function (Functio Laesa)
Goals of inflammation are
Respond to stimuli Restore balance Eliminate the cause Clearing out necrotic cells Tissue repair
Types of trigger factors of inflammation
External or internal factors
Types of external trigger factors of inflammation
Non microbial
Microbial
What are the non microbial external factors of inflammation?
Allergens
Irritants
Toxins
What are the microbial external factors of inflammation?
Virulence factors
PAMPs
PAMPs
Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns
Help pathogen to colonize tissues and cause and infection
virulence factors
Are recognized by our inmune system and trigger and inflammatory response
PAMPs and DAMPs
DAMPs
Damage Associated Molecular Paterns
DAMPs released when
plasma membrane injured or cell dies
PAMPs and DAMPs are recognized by PRRs as ____ and activate the inflammatory response
Toll Like Receptors (TLRs)
PAMPs could be
Polysaccharide
Peptidoglycan
RNA segment
DAMPs appears when the cell is in
danger
Characteristics of PRRs
Activate cell
Spark inflammatory response
Non specific
Types of leukocytes
Granulocytes
Agranulocytes
Mention the granulocytes
Neutrophil
Eosinophil
Basophil
Mast cells
Mention the agranulocytes
Monocyte
Lymphocyte
Mention the monocytes
Macrophages
Dendritic cells
Are the first cells who phagocyte the pathogens
Neutrophils
Control mechanisms associated with allergy
Eosinophil
Basophils contain
histamine and heparin
Granulocytes that secrete an antibody
Lymphocyte
Eat a pathogen and present to T lymphocyte to activate the adaptive inmune system
Dendritic cells
Granules has inflammatory mediators which are
Histamine
Serotonin
Cytokines
Eicosanoids
Which are the eicosanoids?
Prostaglandins
Leukotrienes
Describe the process of inflammation
The tissue got injured
Macrophages phagocyte the pathogen
The endothelial cells separate and the vascular permeability increased and there is a vasodilation
Vasodilation is produced by an increased in
Nitric oxide
Is when the macrophage squeeze him between endothelium cells and arrive to injured tissue
Extravasation
Complement system are activated in presence of
pathogens
Function of complement system
Attract leukocytes
Help with opsonization
Kill pathogens
In tissue repair growth factors released to _____
angiogenesis
Synthesize collagen and helps with wound healing
Fibroblasts
Is the creation of new blood vessels
Angiogenesis
What happen after the neutrophil phagocyte the pathogen?
the neutrophil die by itself (like suicide)
