INFLAMMATION AND TISSUE HEALING AND REPAIR Flashcards
Inflammation is a protective response involving:
1

• host cells
• blood vessels
• proteins and
• other mediators
to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury
• Its protective mission by:

INFLAMMATION
• Diluting

• innate immunity
Inflammation
Latin:
inflammare (to set on fire)
- Roman writer 1st century AD listed the 4 signs of inflammation
- he said “___” meaning “____”
Celsus
“rubor et tumor cum calore et dolore” -> “redness and swelling with heat and pain”
The 5th sign “___” ___ was added by ____ in 19th century
Functio laesa -> loss of function
Rudolf Virchow
Scottish surgeon: Inflammation is not a dse but a response
John Hunter 1793
a russian zoologist: discovered the process of phagocytosis

Feautures of Acute and chronic inflammation
ACUTE
Onset
Cellular Infiltrate
Tissue Injury, Fibrosis
Local and syatemic signs
CHRONIC
Onset
Cellular Infiltrate
Tissue Injury, Fibrosis
Local and syatemic signs
Feauture Acute
Onset
Fast: minutes or hours
Cellular Infiltrate
mainly neutrophils
Tissue Injury, Fibrosis
usually mild and self limited
Local and systemic signs
Prominent
Feauture Chronic
Onset
Slow: days
Cellular Infiltrate
Monocyte macrophage and lymphocyte
Tissue Injury, Fibrosis
often sever and progressive
Local and syatemic signs
less prominent, may be subtle
• an immediate and early response to an injurious agent
• short duration, lasting for minutes, several hours or few days.
• It is characterized by :
1
2
ACUTE INFLAMMATION
• exudation of fluids and plasma proteins
• emigration of neutrophilic leukocytes to the site of injury.
Cardinal signs of acute Inflammation
Redness rubor
Heat calor
Swelling tumor
Pain dolor
Loss of function functio laesa
due to dilation of small blood vessels within damaged tissue . (____)
Redness (rubor)
cellulitis
results from increased blood flow (____) due to regional vascular dilation
Heat (calor)
hyperemia
due to accumulation of fluid in the extravascular space.
Swelling (tumor)
results from the stretching & destruction of tissues due to inflammatory edema .
Pain (dolor)
- inflamed area is inhibited by pain
- severe swelling may physically immobilize the tissue.
Loss of function
Chemicals of acute inflammation
1
2
3
bradykinins
prostaglandins
serotonin
Events of Acute inflammation
Vascular changes
cellular events
- there will be an increase in blood flow
- bring cells and proteins to the site of injury
- by ___ and increase____ l
Vascular changes
- vasodilation
- vascular permeability
recruitment of leukocytes
Activation of leukocytes leading to the process of destruction of invaders and production of mediators
cellular events
Stages of Vascular response
1
2
3
(1) Vascular dilation and
increased blood flow
- causing erythema and warmth
(2) extravasation and deposition of plasma fluid and proteins (edema)
(3) leukocyte (mainly neutrophil) emigration and accumulation in the site of injury.
Mechanism of Vascular response
• ___
• ___ of ___ and___
• Stasis of blood blood flow
• due to ___
• oozes protein-rich fluid into ___
• exudates clinically appear as ____
Mechanism of Vascular response
• Vasoconstriction
• Vasodilatation of arterioles and
venules
- due increased vascular permeability
•extravascular tissues.
• swelling (edema)
