Q

what does the inflammatory process destroy and what does it contain to pave the way for repair?

A

destroys and dilutes or contains the injurous agent to pave the way for repair

Q

3 functions of the vascular response (acute inflammatory)

A
  1. increase permeability of Blood vessels
  2. outflow of plasma and protein into tissue
  3. WBC and immune cells mass at site of injury

Q

define: molecular sieving

A

the worse the injury the bigger the gap between endothelial cells which means more protein molecules in the exudate

Q

what are the 8 steps to vascular changes

A
  1. very short vasoconstriction at site of injury (nervous reflex)
  2. Vasodilation
  3. increased blood flow to area of injury also known as hyperemia
  4. increased permeability to blood vessel
  5. leakage of plasma and protein from blood vessels
  6. remaining part of blood becomes more concentrated
  7. white blood cells move to walls of blood vessels at the site of injury
  8. white blood cells move through blood vessel walls and out into the site of injury

16
Q

define pavementing

A

the adherence to the inner walls of the vessels

17
Q

define emigration

A

white blood cells able to move through blood vessel walls and out into the site of injury

18
Q

what are the 5 cardinal signs of inflammation and characteristics

A
  1. redness: due to hyperemia
  2. swelling: increase fluid in tissues
  3. heat: increase blood flow to tissues
  4. pain: chemicals released at site of injury
  5. loss of function: damage at site of injury
19
Q

what are the 2 mediators of the vascular response

A
  1. chemicals: seratonin, histamine, and compliment

2. nerves

20
Q

how do the white blood cells move during emigration

A

move on their own due to ameboid movement on pseudopods (false feet)

21
Q

define chemotaxis or leukotaxis

A

chemical homing signals produced in the body that draws WBC to site of injury

22
Q

what is commonly used to control inflammation

23
Q

what effect do steroids have on the inflammatory response

A

causes it to not respond as well

24
Q

what is most active in the WBC and are the first to be seen in the tissue at the site of inflammation

A

neutrophils

25
what is the second active level seen in WBC?
monocytes
26
what is a major indicator of whether an inflammatory process is acute or chronic?
examine the most numerous white blood cells seen at the white blood cells seen.
27
is chronic inflammation good?
no; it is proliferative
28
in chronic inflammation what is present in the White Blood Cells?
lymphocyte and plasma cells are most numerously present
29
what are the two basic types of repair?
1. replacement with like tissue (parenchymal tissue) | 2. replacement with fibrous connective tissue (scar)
30
Parenchymal Regeneration: in humans, all cells are divided into 1 of 3 different types:
1. labile cells: skin, mucosa, bone marrow, lymphatic tissue 2. stable cells: retain ability to replicate but usually don't (liver, salivary glands, glandular tissue) 3. permanent cells: nervous/muscle tissue
31
what repair mechanism is more common in humans?
repair with fibrous connective tissue
32
what are the 2 types of CT repair?
1. healing by primary intention | 2. healing by secondary intention
33
characteristics of healing by primary intention
happens when edges of wound are in a close approximation sutures can pull would together to make it smaller known as a clean wound and heals fast
34
define organization of wound
blood clot turns into high vascular connective tissue
35
characteristics of healing by secondary intention
happens when edges of a wound cannot be brought together tissue is lost from wound wound fills with granulation tissue as a way of repairing the damage from bottom to top much slower than primary intention b/c its an open wound considered its a dirty wound longer inflammatory response
36
define wound contration
- contraction of fibroblasts with in granulation tissue and pulls the wound together reducing the size of the wound - if at a joint it can cause it to become stiff due to inflammation and less functional
