INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN THE AIRWAYS Flashcards
STAGES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AIRWAYS.
RECOGNITION:
IMMUNE CELLS DETECT HARMFUL INVADERS LIKE PATHOGENS OR ALLERGENS IN THE AIRWAYS.
STAGES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AIRWAYS.
RELEASE OF CYTOKINES:
IMMUNE CELLS RELEASE SINGLING MOLECULES CALLED CYTOKINES TO ACTIVATE THE IMMUNE RESPONSE.
STAGES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AIRWAYS.
RECRUITMENT:
CYTOKINES ATTRACT MORE IMMUNE CELLS LIKE NEUTROPHILS EOSINOPHILS AND LYMPHOCYTES TO THE INFLAMED AREA.
STAGES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AIRWAYS.
ACTIVATION:
INFLAMMATORY MEDIATORS LIKE PROSTAGLANDINS AND HISTAMINES CAUSE BLOOD VESSELS TO DILATE AND BECOME MORE PERMEABLE,ALLOWING IMMUNE CELLS TO MOVE INTO THE TISSUE.
STAGES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AIRWAYS.
RESPONSE:
INFLAMMATION LEADS TO SYMPTOMS LIKE SWELLING, REDNESS AND INCREASED MUCUS PRODUCTION CAUSING COUGHING AND WHEEZING.
STAGES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AIRWAYS.
TISSUE REPAIR:
INFLAMMATION HELPS FIGHT INFECTION AND HEAL TISSUE DAMAGE IN THE AIRWAYS.
STAGES OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE IN AIRWAYS.:
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY MOLECULES ARE RELEASED TOS TOP THE INFLAMMATION AND RESTORE NORMAL TISSUE FUNCTION.
