inflammation and repair 3 Flashcards
what are the morphologic patterns for the classification of inflammation
serous
fibrinous (clots)
suppurative (pus)
ulcerative
describe acute inflammation
-rapid onset, short duration (mins to days)
-emigration of leukocytes[mainly neutrophils]
-exudation of fluid and plasma proteins
describe chronic inflammation
-longer duration
-mononuclear cells (macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells)
-proliferation of blood vessels and fibroblasts
acute inflammation tends to be more (exudative/non-exudative)
exudative [fluid present]
chronic inflammation is frequently (exudative/non-exudative) and is often associated with: _______and______
non-exudative
fibrosis and scarring
what are the bodies 5 responses to injury:
known as inflammation
1. thermal
2. physical
3. chemical
4. allergic
5. immune mediated disease
comes into play when inflammation is caused by a living organism (infection)
immunity
T/F
inflammation and immunity are not the same thing
TRUE
____may provoke inflammation and immunity
infection
what exists without infection
inflammation
(inflammation does NOT imply infection)
these may cause inflammation :
1. (allergic disease)
2.
- hypersensitivity
- autoimmune disease
the body’s 3 lines of defense
- barriers (physical)
- inflammatory response
- immune response
what are the physical barriers of the body
skin
mucous membranes
secretions
what are the body’s inflammatory response (non-specific)
cells (leukocytes)
molecules (mediators)
what are the body’s immune response (specific)
antibodies (humoral)
cytotoxic t cells (cellular)
where are the components of the inflammatory responses found in:
1
2
3
- circulating blood cells and plasma proteins
- cells of the blood vessel walls
- cells and proteins of the ECM
where are most of the defensive elements located in the body
in the blood
process where defensive cells and chemicals leave the blood and enter the tissue
inflammation
inflammation is a complex reaction to injury and 4 responses include:
- vascular responses
- cellular responses
- systemic reactions (fever)
- repair
defensive cells:
leukocytes
WBC
defensive proteins
plasma
the inflammatory response 5 R’s:
- recognition of the injurious agent
- recruitment of leukocytes
- removal of the agent
- regulation (control) of the response
- resolution (repair)
cardinal signs of inflammation
1
2
3
4
5
- calor-heat
- rubor-redness
- tumor-swelling
- dolor-pain
- loss of function
list the cellular events in acute inflammation:
- margination (cells line up on peripheral)
- rolling
- adhesion
- diapedesis (squeeze between cells to get into connective tissue)
- chemotaxis
- phagocytosis
- killing
