Inflammation and Repair Flashcards
Innate immunity
Acute Inflammation
Acute inflammation
shorter duration
initial, rapid response
exuadation of fluid and plasma proteins (EDEMA)
Chronic inflammation
if acute fails to clear the stimulus
longer duration
presence of lymphocytes and macrophages, proliferation of blood vessels and disposition of connective tissue
more tissue destruction
Response of vascularized tissues to infectious organism and tissue
Inflammation
Causes of inflammation
Infections
Immune reactions
Foreign bodies (Endogenous,Exogenous, Cholesterol crystal, and Lipids)
Tissue necrosis
Steps in inflammation
Recognition Mediators (amines,cytokines) Recruitment, Plasma Vasodilation, Elimination Fibroblast
Leucocyte recruitment
2nd step in acute inflammation
Termination of response
4th step in acute inflammation
Steps in acute inflammation
Blood vessels reactions
Leucocyte recruitment
Phagocytosis and Cleaning of offending agents
Termination response
Change in blood flow
Vasodilation
Stasis and accumulation of leucocytes specifically neutrophils along the endothelium
Migration of tissue toward chemotactic stimulus
Chemotaxis
Integrins
cells adhere firmly
Acid proteases
degrade bacteria and debris
Mediators of acute inflammation
Vasoactive amines
Arachidonic acid metabolites
Cytokines
Critical step in complement activation
Proteolysis
Morphologic patterns of acute inflammation
Ulcers
Purulent Inflammation
Serous Inflammation
Fibrinous Inflammation
Skin blisters
Serous Inflammation
