Inflammation/Healing Flashcards
Acute + Chronic + Wound Healing
Acute Inflammation
Acute Inflammation
Rapid & Exudate
Eliminate/prevent/remove necrotic tissue from spreading
Results: Complete resolution, chronic inflammation, fibrosis/scarring
Acute Inflammation
Hallmarks
Red (rubor)
Heat (calor)
Swelling (Tumor)
Pain (Dolor)
Loss of Function (funcitonal lasse)
Acute Inflammation
Cellular infiltrates in inflammation
PMN/PMNLs (neutrophil) and cause apoptosis + macrophages enter
Acute Inflammation
Steps
Vasodilation (redness/warmth) and permeability (inflammation), macrophages (phagocytosis)
Diapedesis is PMS migrating across to where they need to go and cheokines push them to the site, they activate pain followed macrophages
Short life for neutrophils, macrophages clean it up so the dead neutrophils do not cause pus to form
Acute Inflammation
Serous Inflammation
Copius Effusion from plasma/mesothelial cells –> seperation of layers (blister)
Acute Inflammation
Fibrinous inflammation
Meshwork of fibrin (pink strands) exuded out of the blood
Examples: fibrinous pericarditis/emningitis, can be broken down by fibrinolysis
Acute Inflammation
Purulent Inflammation
Localized vicous exudate - pus, dying neutrophils
Results: Complete Resolution/abcess (pus), sinus, fistula (w/liquefactive necrosis)
Microscope: Capillary walls congested –> yellow exudate
Acute Inflammation
Vasoactive Amines
Vasodilation/vascular permeability
Mast cell - histamine
Platlet - histamine/serotonin
Acute Inflammation
Complement
Mast Cell stimulation, chemotaxis
Acute Inflammation
Kinins
Vascular permeability, pain, smooth muscle contraction (vasodilation)
Kallikren: attract neutrophils
Acute Inflammation
APP
Made by liver released in blood
Acute Inflammation
Coagulation Factors
Clot pathways to activate kinins
Chronic Inflammation
Fibrinous and Fibrous Inflammation
Fibrinous and fibrous inflammation from fibrin deposition fibromas chronic fibrous inflammation (fibroblast surrounding collagen fibers in dense connective tissue)
Chronic Inflammation
Granulomatous Inflammation
Granulomatous Inflammation is the collection of cells that can’t eliminate: multinucleated cells, activated macrophages, lymphocytes
Microscope: pale nuclei, pink cytoplasm, palisading
Chronic Inflammation
Transudate vs. Exudate
Transudate is clear, low protein, low cell content/ low gravity caused by starling forces
Exudate opaque, high protein, high protein count, high gravity caused by damage to endothelial wall
