Inflammation And Tissue Repair Flashcards
Steps of inflammatory response
Recognition Recruitment Removal Regulation Resolution and repair
What are the mediators if inflammation
Microbes
Necrotic cells
Hypoxia
Main characteristics of acute inflammatory
Edema
Neutrophil migration
Examples of foreign bodies that cause inflammation
Urate crystals
Cholesterol crystals
Lipids
High protein concentration and contains cellular debris
Exudate
These leads to vascular congestion
Stasis
Concentration on red cells in small BV
Increased viscosity
Causes the endothelium to contract
Histamine
Bradykinin
Leukotrinine
Stimulates channels to promote transcytosis of fluids and proteins, promoting vascular leakage
VEGF
They are easily disturbed by blood flow, promotes rolling of the leukocyte
Selectins
Forms a firm adhesion for the leukocyte
Integrins
Intracellular destruction of microbes and debris
ROS Reactive Nitrogen Lysosomal enzymes Antioxidants NET Leukocyte mediated tissue injury
Major vasoactive amine
Histamine
Serotonin
Prostaglandin agent that is a Vasoconstrictor and platelet aggregate
Thromboxane A2
Potent chemotactic agent and activator of neutrophil
LTB4
Marked by the exudate on of poor cell fluid into spaces
Serous inflammation
