L7 Acute Inflammation

Question 1

__?__ is the initial tissue reaction to injury

Answer 1

Acute inflammation

Question 2

Which cell type is characteristic of acute inflammation?

Answer 2

Neutrophil polymorphs

Question 3

Which of the following is not associated with acute inflammation?

a) Vasodilation
b) Increased vascular permeability
c) Transudate formation
d) Vasoconstriction

Answer 3

c) Transudate formation

Acute inflammation leads to exudate formation.

Initially, vessels constrict and then they dilate (mediated by histamine and NO)

The vessels become more permeable, due to chemicals (histamine/NO), direct injury, or endothelial injury (bacterial toxins)
