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
3 systemic manifestations of acute inflammation
fever- due to pyrogens
leukocytosis
acute phase response- cytokines stimulate hepatocytes to synthesize and secrete acute phase proteins
Fever [due to pyogenes], which is a systemic manifestation of acute inflammation, utilizes
cytokines [TNF, IL-1 released by leukocytes]
and
prostaglandins [from membrane phospholipids]
leukocytosis which is a systemic manifestation of acute inflammation, utilizes
-leukemoid reaction
-neutrophilia (shift to left)
-lymphocytosis
acute phase response[cytokines stimulate hepatocytes to synthesize and secrete phase proteins] which is a systemic manifestation of acute inflammation, utilizes
- c-reaction protein (CRP) :acts as an opsonin
- mannose-binding lectin: acts as an opsonin
lymphatics in inflammation:
lymphangitis
lymphatic spread of bacterial infection. painful red streaks and regional lymphadenopathy
lymphatics in inflammation: lymphangitis
what are the first mediators after inflammation, which are vasoactive amines
histamine and serotonin
this mediator is stored in granules of mast cells
histamine
this mediator is stored in the granules of platelets
serotonin
what do the mediators histamine and serotonin cause
cause vascular dilation and leakage
all acute inflammatory reactions may have one of three outcomes:
- complete resolution
- healing by connective tissue replacement (fibrosis)
- progression of the response to chronic inflammation
