Inflammation & Repair: body response to injury Flashcards
What are the main components of inflammation (2)?
Vascular changes
Cellular changes
Explain the 2 types of vascular changes in inflammation
Hemodynamic changes
-transient vasoC followed by vasoD (via vascular smooth muscle)
It causes hyperemia: increased blood flow
Increased permeability -mostly venous end of capi = leakage of exudate = increase osmotic pressure = « »blood viscosity = diminution of blood velocity (flow)
Increased permeability is d/t what (3)?
Endothelial cell damage
« » contraction
Leakage of new small blood vessels during repair
What is exudate
Prot-rich fluid and some blood cells out of the circulation
Where mast cells are located?
Around the capillaries
Mast cells are a source pf what?
Vascular mediators
Histamine
In acute inflammation, mast cells release
Histamine
Describe the effect of histamine in the inflammation process
VasoD
Increased permeability of venou capillaries
Responsible for que QUICK/TRANSIENT change in permeability
An increased in permeability may be delayed in what case?
Sunburn
What are the steps of cellular changes in the inflammation process (4)?
MARGINATION
Accumulation of leukocytes along blood vessel walls at the site of injury
ROLLING
ADHESION
DIAPEDESIS
What is the role of chemokines in the inflammatory process (cellular change)?
Attract immune cells toward the site of injury
Travel toward the high concentration of chemokines = chemotaxis
Name different times where chemotaxis is use (3)
Bacterial peptides
Complement
Leukotrienes
Which adhesion molecule is used in rolling?
Selectin (it is on the endothelial layer)
Which adhesion receptor is use in adhesion?
Integrin (it is on the endothelial layer and on the leukocytes)
PAF receptor binding activates integrins on leukocytes.
Then able to bind to ICAM-1 on the endo layer(stop rolling)
In adhesion, LFA-1 on leukocytes interact w/ what receptor on endothelial cell?
ICAM-1
