Inflammation- Mesa Flashcards
Key player in acute inflammation
neutrophils
Stimuli for accute inflammation
necrosis
foreign bodies
infection
immmune reaction
Vasuclar changes
cause red color: blood flowing
also cause swollen
Exudate
High Protein cells
Transudate
low protein cells
What helps with adhesion
integrins
secretins
Move through wall?
chemoaxis
What are 3 ways C3 can complement?
- C3b can attach to Ca and stimulate inflmmation by attracting more leukocytes
- C3b can act directly on its own and induce phagocytosis
- C3b can gather and form MAC for cell lysis
Bradykinin
PAIN
smooth muscle constricter not vascular
Which chemical mediater pain and fever? clotting?
Prostaglandins
Which are mediators are vasodilators?
serotonin
histamine
lipoxins
nitric oxide
Which mediators are vasonconstrictors?
Leuokotrienes (maintain blood pressure)
What stops cgemotaxis?
lipoxins
Granulomatous Inflammation
Crohns disease histocytes* giant cells fivroblasts lymphs
Fibrosis as healing
In order for fibrosis to occur, you need t use connective tissue from ECM, which means you will have to damage ECM
Epidermal Growth Factor
made in platelets and macrophages
present in saliva, milk, urine, plasma
acts on keratinocytes
acs on fibroblasts to create granulation
T GF alpha
macrophages
hepatocytes
keratinocytes
t cells
Which 3 growth factors affect the liver?
EGF
Hepatocyte growth factor
TGF alpha
Hepatocyte growth factor
made from mesenchymal cells
prolifer of hepatocytes, endothelium, epithelium
Vascular Endothelial
made by mesenchymal
key in promoting granulation
triggered by hypoxia
increase vascular permiability
Platelet Derived GF
made in platelets important for angiogenisis key in granulation chemotactic for many cells mitogenic for fibroblasts (causes fibroblast to divide)
Key GF for promoting granulation
VE GF
PD GF
Fibroblast GF
chemotactic and mitogenic for fibroblast and keratinocytes re- epithelialization angiogenisis (wound) hematopoiesis cardiac/ skeletal muscle
Transforming GF
inhibits epithelial macrophages stimulates progression and migration of fibroblasts increases collagen formation helps limit and term inflam responses
K GF
made in fibroblasts
