inflammatory process Flashcards

1
Q

cell characteristics

A

cells tend to preserve their environment to maintain homeostasis (body wants to go back to normal ASAP). Physiologic stress or pathologic stimuli cause cells to undergo adaptation and find a new steady state to preserve viability

Q

metaplasia

A

change in cell type, may change back to original cell type. ex. cigarette smokers (normal cells in trachea have cilia but smokers do not have ciliated cells because they are more resistant to smoke)

Q

chemical agents

A

any chemical substance can cause cell injury (even salt and water). ethanol causes liver injury that is reversible at first but chronic ethanol use will lead to irreversible injury (liver exhaustion=cerosis)

Q

nutritional imbalance

A

malnourishment or obesity

21
Q

physical agents

A

trauma (cuts, bruises, concussions ect.), burns, cold (frostbite)

22
Q

aging

A

the body becomes exhausted, repeated trauma, imperfect restoration of structure or function, cellular senescence

23
Q

what does response to injurious stimuli depend on?

A

type of injury, duration and severity

24
Q

what do consequences of injury depend on?

A

adaptability and genetic makeup (ex. cats heal faster than dogs) of the injured cell. ex. skeletal muscle can withstand 2-3 hours of ischemia w/o irreversible injury while the cardiac muscle can only tolerate 20-30 mins and the brain can only tolerate 3-4 mins

25
Q

inflammation

A

a protective response intended to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury as well as the necrotic (dead) cells and tissues resulting from the original insult, heals and reconstitutes the site of injury, interwoven with the repair process, helps clear infection and makes would healing possible but may cause harm

26
Q

acute inflammation

A

immediate and early response to injury, designed to deliver leukocytes to the site of injury

27
Q

leukocytes (white blood cells)

A

clear any invading microbes and begin the process of cleaning necrotic tissue

28
Q

two components of acute inflammation

A

vascular changes (vasodilation to increase blood flow) and cellular events (cellular recruitment and activation, leukocytes migrate)

29
Q

5 classical signs of acute inflammation

A

heat (area becomes hot to the touch, fever, caused by increased blood flow), redness (caused by increased blood flow), swelling (caused by leaky blood vessels allowing WBCs to enter the area), pain (caused by the inflammatory cells) and loss of function (not same as loss of movement)

30
Q

Neutrophils

A

first responders to bacterial and fungal infections, form pus

31
Q

eosinophils

A

deal with parasitic infection

32
Q

basophils

A

granulate, responsible for allergenic and antigen response, releases histamine

33
Q

lymphocytes

A

common in the lymphatic system, B cells make antibodies (cells that have memory)

34
Q

monocytes

A

perform phagocytosis

35
Q

vascular changes

A
  1. initial vasoconstriction (seconds) to stop bleeding, platelet aggregation,blood coagulation->clot
  2. vasodilation (responsible for redness and heat in inflamed area, caused by histamine release), brings in leukocytes
  3. increase vascular permeability-protein rich fluid in extravascular tissue (we see edema or swelling). blood becomes more viscous and circulation slows down
36
Q

cellular changes

A
  1. leukocytes (neutrophils) will transmigrate through intercellular junctions to the extracellular matrix
  2. leukocytes will release chemical mediators that keep inflammation going ex. histamine, cytokines, leukotrienes, prostaglandins. these recruit more leukocytes to the area
  3. phagocytosis: leukocytes will ingest (engulfment) injurous particle. Serves to both kill bacteria/virus and also to clean up dead cells
37
Q

outcome of acute inflammation

A

resolution, scarring/fibrosis, chronic inflammation

38
Q

resolution

A

when injury is limited or short lived, tissue is capable of replacing any irreversibly dead cell with new perfect and functional cells

39
Q

scarring/fibrosis

A

after substantial tissue damage or when injury occurs to the tissue that does not regenerate. in cases of abscess formation (bacteria, neutrophils, dead cells->pus). the only outcome is scarring

40
Q

chronic inflammation

A

persistant viral or bacterial infection, may be caused by debris in wound, wound constantly being reopened, compromised immune system. may lead to complete regeneration or fibrosis, use of anti-inflammatory agents are necessary

41
Q

angiogenesis

A

the creation of new blood vessels and cells, too many new blood vessels may be created that prevents blood from flowing to the area

42
Q

Extracellular Matrix (ECM)

A

critically regulates growth, movement and differentiation of cells, aids in mechanical support, determination of cell orientation, control of growth, organized regeneration of tissues

43
Q

components of the ECM

A

collagen (confer tensile strength, adds elasticity to new cells, primarily located in tendons, skin etc.), elastin (recoil and return to baseline structure), glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronan (highly hydrated compressible gels that confer resilience and lubrication)

44
Q

repair by connective tissue

A

if severe or persistent tissue injury occurs, the repair occurs by replacement of what should be normally functioning cells with connective tissue. granulation tissue (proud flesh) is formed. horses are prone to exuberant granulation tissue formation which impedes healing of wounds

45
Q

granulation tissue

A

angiogenesis, fibroblasts, loose ECM. Pink in color, soft and granular-looking tissue. highly populated with macrophages which clear debris and allow for fibroblast proliferation and ECM production. Becomes fibrotic tissue.

46
Q

wound healing

A

very organized event, specialized cells first clean the injured site and progressively built the scaffolding to fill in any resulting defect

47
Q

first intention wound healing

A

occurs with minor or precise injury ex. clean, uninfected surgical incision approximated by sutures. cells are regenerated, they maintain normal function and scar is minimal

48
Q

second intention wound healing

A

open wound, abscess, ulcerations. Normal architecture is not achieved, extensive ingrowth of granulation tissue, fibrotic scar formation is the result

49
Q

wound strength

A

carefully sutured wounds have 70% of normal strength of unwounded tissue. when suture is removed, wound strength is only about 10%, by the end of 3 months wound strength is about 70-80%
