inflammation and tissue healing and repair Flashcards
Inflammation is a protective response involving
- host cells
- blood vessels
- proteins and
- other mediatiator
mission of inflammation
to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury
inflammation protective mission by
- Diluting
- destroying
- Neutralizing
what is inflammare
to set on fire
rubor et tumor cum calore et dolore
redness and swelling with heat and pain
who added the 5th sign
Rudolf virchow
what is the 5th cardinal sign
functio laesa or loss of function
who said inflammation is not a disease but just a response
John Hunter
Who discovered the process of phagocytosis
Elie Metchinkoff
Exogenous causes
Physical agents
Chemical agents
Biological agents
Endogenous causes
Circulation disorders
Enzymes activation
Metabolic products deposals
Target of cell injury
- function
- biochemical reaction
Changes in inflammation
- Tissue damage
- Cellular –vascular response
- Metabolic changes
- Tissue repair
onset of acute
onset of chronic
fast: mins or hours
slow: days
tissue injury of acute
tissue injury of chronic
acute - mild and self-limited
chronic - severe and progressive
why is it prominent in acute inflammatory?
because the 5 cardinal signs are seen in acute inflammation,
an immediate and early response to an injurious agent
acute inflammation
characteristics of AI
- presence of exudates fluids and plasma proteins
- emigration of neutrophilic leukocytes to the site of injury
external manifestation of AI
- rubor
- calor
- tumor
- dolor
due to dilation of small blood
vessels within damaged tissue
rubor or redness
example of rubor
cellulitis
results from increased blood flow due to regional vascular dilation
calor or heat
example of calor
hyperemia
due to accumulation of fluid in the
extravascular space
tumor or swelling.
