Inflammation & Repair Flashcards
___ is a reversible cell response to injury.
Degeneration
___ is the catabolic metabolism of a cell, but is not immediately lethal
Atrophy
Programmed cell death is known as ___
Apoptosis
What is involved in the “clean up” of degraded cellular material?
Macrophages
___ follows irreversible cell and tissue injuries
Necrosis
___ necrosis occurs with tissues with normal protein content.
Coagulative
___ necrosis occurs with tissue that is poor in protein, like brain and fat.
Liquefaction
What are the common causes in which necrosis occurs?
- ischemia
- trauma
- toxins
- infection
- immunologic factors
___ is a protective response to rid body of cause of cell injury and resultant necrosis
Inflammation
In inflammation, changes occur locally through vasodilation and increased vascular ___.
permeability
What are the 4 cardinal signs of acute inflammation?
- rubor
- calor
- dolor
- tumor
What type of WBC is mainly involved in acute inflammation?
Neutrophils
Vasodilation occurs through cellular release of 3 mediators: ___, ___, and ___.
- histamine
- nitric oxide
- prostacyclin
What are the mechanisms of increased vascular permeability?
- Endothelial contraction (short-lived)
- Endothelial retraction (long-lived)
- Direct endothelial injury
- Delayed prolonged response
- Leukocyte mediated damage.
What are the 3 types of ways WBC from blood vessels move to site of inflammation?
- Rolling (loose intermittent contact)
- Pavementing (tight constant contact)
- Transmigration (crossing through)
