Inflammatory Response & Management Flashcards
What is the primary purpose of inflammation in the body?
* A) Cause pain and swelling

C
Which of the following is typically not a characteristic sign of inflammation?

* D) Pain
C
Redness during inflammation is caused by:
* A) Increased metabolism
* B) Accumulation of fluid
* C) Vasodilation and increased blood flow
* D) Muscle guarding
C
What causes heat in an inflamed area?
* A) Infection
* B) Muscle spasms
* C) Increased metabolism
* D) Nerve compression
C
Pain during inflammation is due to:
* A) Muscle fatigue

* C) Dehydration
* D) Heat production
B
Which of the following is not typically found in inflammatory exudate?
* A) Red blood cells
* B) Platelets
* C) Cartilage cells
* D) White blood cells
C
Muscle spasm during inflammation primarily serves to:
* A) Cause more injury
* B) Increase inflammation
* C) Protect and immobilize the area
* D) Strengthen surrounding muscles
C
Prolonged muscle guarding may lead:
* A) Improved blood flow
* B) Decreased metabolism
* C) Muscle spasm and low-grade inflammation
* D) Reduction in pain
C
What is the correct sequence in the cycle of trauma related to muscle spasm?
* A) Pain → Retention of metabolites → Restricted movement → Spasm
* B) Spasm → Pain → Retention of metabolites → Restricted movement
* C) Spasm → Restricted movement → Retention of metabolites → Pain
* D) Pain → Spasm → Restricted movement → Retention of metabolites
B
How can the trauma cycle be interrupted?
* A) Rest alone
* B) Massage only
* C) Ice only
* D) Medication and Ice
D
Which is the shortest phase of soft tissue healing?
* A) Remolding phase
* B) Fibroplastic phase
* C) Inflammatory (acute) phase
* D) Chronic phase
C
What is the typical duration of the inflammatory phase?
* A) 1-2 hours
* B) 48-72 hours
* C) 1-2 weeks
* D) One month
B
Fibroplasia refers to the laying down of:
* A) Type I muscle fibers
* B) White blood cells
* C) Type II fibroblasts (scar tissue)
* D) Nerve fibers
C
In which phase does collagen alignment along lines of stress occur?
* A) Inflammatory phase
* B) Remodeling/maturation phase
* C) Fibroplastic phase
* D) Resting phase
B
How long can the remodeling/maturation phase last?
* A) 2-3 days
* B) 1-2 weeks
* C) 3 months to 1 year
* D) Indefinitely
C
Margination in the cellular phase refers to:
* A) Red blood cell clumping
* B) Platelet activation
* C) White blood cells lining vessel walls
* D) Collagen synthesis
C
Diapedesis is the process of:
* A) Blood clot formation
* B) White blood cells passing through vessel walls
* C) White blood cells lining vessel walls
* D) Collagen synthesis
C
Phagocytosis involves:
* A) Clotting
* B) Vasodilation
* C) Cellular debris removal
* D) Scar formation
C
Primary healing occurs when:
* A) There is a large gap between wound edges
* B) There is minimal scar tissue formation
* C) There is excessive collagen production
* D) Vascularization is poor
B
Proper healing is dependent on all except:
* A) Elimination of cellular debris
* B) Adequate blood supply
* C) Avoiding re-injury
* D) Continuous inflammation
D
Excessive force during the remodeling phase can:
* A) Improve healing
* B) Delay healing
* C) Have no effect
* D) Stop fibroplast activity
B
The SAID principle refers to:
* A) Applying heat for healing
* B) The body’s ability to adapt to imposed demands
* C) Rest as the best healing approach
* D) Use of medication for inflammation
B
Which phases are most influenced by the SAID principle?
