inflammation repair Flashcards
what is inflammation
heal wounds and chronic conditions
define inflammation as it pertains to the immune system
the immune systems response to stimulus
when a wound swells up, turns red and hurts
when does inflammation happen?
inflammation happens when the immune system fights against something the may turn out to be harmful
how does the body use inflammation to protect the body?
protective response to cell injury and cell death
facilitates tissue repair
controlled inflammation
uncontrolled inflammation
what are responses from tissue injury that are noticed
chemical agents
cold
heat
trauma
invasion of microbes
cancerous cells
what is the desirable response
when it is controlled and proportional
what is a undesirable response
chronic and harmful
what does reparative mean
induces and supports tissue repair
what is the potential harm when it comes to inflammation?
leads to chronic bowl conditions
arthritis and chronic obstructive bowel disease
how can you distinguish between acute vs chronic
onset duration and type of infiltrating inflammatory cells
what are the major cells involved in acute inflammation
neutrophils basophils eosinophils
mononcytes and macrophages
what are the major cells involved in the chronic inflammation
monocytes
macrophages
lymphocytes
plasma cells
fibroblasts
what is the onset period of acute inflammation
onset (few days)
what is the onset time for chronic inflammation
delayed (up to many months or years)
what are the ourcomes associated with acute inflammatory responses
resolution, absess formation, chronic inflmmation
what are the outcomes for chronic inflammation
tissue destruction
fibrosis
what are the causative agents of acute inflammatory responses
pathogens irritants and damage
what is the causative agent for chronic inflammation
persistent acute inflammation due to non degradable pathogens persisitant foreign bodies or autoimmune reactions
what are the cardinal signs of inflammation
heat
redness
swelling
pain
increasing the chance of loss of function
give a brief recap of the inflammation response
foreign agent will enter the body -> local vasodilation and increased vascular permability ->
accumulation of white blood cells at the blood cells wall ->
white blood cells will exit the blood vessel ->
will be drawn to the injury area
CHEMOTAXIS
what are the symptoms seen with the pathological response of releasing of soluble mediators
heat (calor)
redness (rubor)
swelling (tumor)
pain (dolor)
what are the symptoms noticed with the pathological response of vasodilation
heat. (calor)
readness (rubor)
swelling (tumor)
what are the symptoms noticed with the patological response of increased blood flow
swelling (tumor)
what are the symptoms noticed with the patological response to extravasation of fluid
(increased permeability)
swelling (tumor)
what are the symptoms related to the pathological response of cellular influx (chemotaxis)
swelling (tumor)
what are physiological components of vascularity
vasoconstriction- few seconds of blanching
vasodilation- smooth muscle relaxes called active hyperermia
increased permeability- vascular leakage- edema
what are the physiological components of cellular mean
leukocyte accumulation and infiltration
where would you find active hyperemia?
arterial hyperemia
due to arteriolar dilatation
sympathic stimulation
the affected tissue is redder than normal because of engorgement with oxygnated blood
what are some examples of active hyperemia
at sites of inflammation
in skeletal muscle during exercise
angioneurothic- face redness
what does active hyperemia account for?
redness swelling and warmth
what is main difference between exudate and transudate
cell/ protein rich fluid vs low cell/protein fluid
describe some details about transudate leakage/ permeability
result of high hydrostatic pressure and low osmotic pressure
fluid is clear
low cell/protein fluid
describe some details about exudate leakage/ permeability
result of increased vascular permeability
cloudy
high cell/ protein fluid
what does exudate permeability do?
supplies antibodies and complement protein to affected areas contributes to swelling
causes pain and decreased mobility
if permeability accounts for swelling what might you also notice with the patient
decreased ROM and Function
what are the five known causes of vascular leakiness?
- mediators
- cytokine mediators
- severe injuries
- leukocytes adhering and damaging the endothelium
- certain mediators may increase transcytosis
describe what occurs with the mediators that causes vascular leakiness
hisamines bradykinis and leukotrienes cause a <30 minute response in the form of reversible endothelial cell contraction
this will widen the gaps of venules that is specific to allergic reactions
describe what occurs with the cytokine mediators that causes vascular leakiness
reversible endothelial cell junction retraction
happens 4-6 hours post injury or infection
last up to 24 hours or more
where brusing can be noticed
how will severe injuries cause vascular leakiness
immediate direct endothelial cell damage making them leaky until they are repaired
vascular permeability follows what process
flows vasodilation
vascular permeability causes what type of dysfunction
endothelial cell dysfunction
how does leukocytes that adhere and damage the endothelium cause vascular permeability
through activation and release of toxic oxygen radicals and proteolytic enzymes making the vessel leaky
how does mediators increasing transcytosis cause vascular permeability
intracellular vesicles extend from the luminal surface to basal lamina surface of the endothelial cells
what is meant by degranulation?
a cellular process that releases: neutrophils
basophils
eosinophils
mast cells
cytotoxic cells
natural killer cells
main purpose is to destroy pathogens
innate immune system
what is meant by diapedesis
leukocytes leave the vasculature and enter the interstitium through a sequence
if you know the sequence say it now
what is the sequence followed by diapedesis
margination and rolling
adhesion
chemotaxis
activation
transmigration
after the sequence of diapedesis what can the leukocytes participate in
degranulation
phagocytosis- macrophage
leukocyte/cytokine - protects and repair (controlled)
leukocyte/ cytokine ‘storm’ induced tissue injury (uncontrolled or chronic)
what is special about the cytokine storm
long covid and disproportionallity to the response which creates a chronic disease
cells of the enate immune system
explain the vasoconstriction stage of acute inflammation stage
release of vasoconstrictor substances
constriction of cells- thought to be immediate response to control blood loss BLANCHING
<60 seconds
explain the vasodilation stage of acute inflammation stage
Mechanism of action- cellular release of mediators
relaxation of the blood vessel walls
what relax the blood vessels walls in the vasodilation stage of acute inflammation
histamine, prostacyclin and nitric oxide relax the blood vessel walls
why does the vasodilation stage happen in acute inflammation
increased hydrostatic pressure (pressure inside the cell pushing out) causes a decrease in blood flow rate
leukocytes will marginate among the blood vessel wall
