Comes into play when inflammation is caused by infection:
Immunity
Infection may provoke ____ and _____
inflammation & immunity
Inflammation may exist:
Without infection
Inflammation may be caused by _____ or _____ (give examples)
Hypersensitivity (mucositis) or autoimmune disease (mucous membrane pemphigoid or RA)
The body’s first and second line of defenses are considered:
Non-specific
The body’s third line of defense is considered:
Specific
Describe the body’s first line of defense:
BARRIERS- THE MOST IMPORTANT- skin, mucous membranes, secretions (nonspecific)
Describe the body’s second line of defense:
Inflammatory response- innate- cells (leukocytes) and molecules (mediators) (nonspecific)
Describe the body’s third line of defense:
Immune responses- acquired- antibodies (humoral) and cytotoxic T cells (cellular) (specific)
Skins, mucous membranes & secretions =
body’s first line of defense
Cells (leukocytes) & molecules (mediators) =
body’s second line of defense
Antibodies (humoral) & cytotoxic T cells (cellular) =
body’s third line of defense
List the three main components of inflammatory responses:
- circulating blood cells & plasma proteins
- cells of the blood vessel walls
- cells & proteins of the ECM
What are the circulating blood cells and plasma proteins of inflammatory responses?
- PMNs/neutrophils
- lymphocytes
- monocytes
- eosinophils
- basophils
The cells of the blood vessel walls that are components of inflammatory responses include:
- complement
- clotting factors (platelets)
The cells and proteins of the ECM of the inflammatory responses include:
- mast cells
- macrophages
What component of the inflammatory response is characterized by functioning to eliminate microbes and debris?
PMNs/neutrophils
What component of the inflammatory response is comprised of T cells, B cells, NK cells and function to produce antibodies?
Lymphocytes
What component of the inflammatory response are important for repair?
Eosinophils
Lymphocytes (circulating blood cells and plasma proteins of the inflammatory response) are specifically _____ cells and function to:
T cells, B cells & NK cells; produce antibodies
The complement & clotting factors (platelets) of the inflammatory response are the source of:
cytokines & NO
What cells of the ECM that are components of the inflammatory response produce histamine?
Mast cells
Mast cells produce:
Histamine
What cells of the ECM that are components of the inflammatory response eliminate debris and are a source of cytokines?
Macrophages
Inflammation is the bodies response to:
Injury
Most of the defensive elements of inflammation are located in the:
Blood
Inflammation is the means by which:
Defensive cells and chemicals leave the blood and enter tissue
Inflammation is a ______ to injury
Complex reaction
Inflammation is a complex reaction to injury including: (4)
- vascular responses
- cellular responses
- systemic reactions
- repair
Describe the vascular responses of inflammation:
MOST IMPORTANT
What is an example of a systemic reaction of inflammation?
Fever
Initially inflammation is _____ however if excessive or prolonged it may become _____
Beneficial; harmful
Inflammatory response 5 R’s include:
- recognition of the injurious agent
- recruitment of leukocytes
- removal of the agent
- regulation (control) of the response
- resolution (repair)
What are the cardinal signs of inflammation (5):
- Color-heat
- Rubor-redness
- Tumor-swelling
- Dolor-pain
- Loss of function
inflammation that is characterized by a rapid onset, short duration and is intense:
acute
What cells are involved in acute inflammation?
Neutrophils
What type of inflammation involves the exudation of fluid and plasma proteins?
Acute inflammation
Acute inflammation involves ______ of fluid and plasma proteins
exudation
protein rich fluid that filters into a site (can cause swelling):
Exudate
Describe the composition of exudate:
protein rich
Describe the cellular events of acute inflammation: (7)
- margination
- rolling
- adhesion
- diapedesis
- chemotaxis
- phagocytosis
- killing
inflammation characterized by a longer duration and considered low grade:
chronic inflammation
what cells are involved in chronic inflammation?
mononuclear cells- macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells
Mononuclear cells of chronic inflammation include: (3)
- macrophages
- lymphocytes
- plasma cells
Proliferation of blood vessels and fibroblasts occurs in _____ inflammation
chronic
chronic inflammation is typically _____ and associated with fibrosis and scarring
non-exudative
chronic inflammation can be described as non-exudative meaning its associated with:
fibrosis and scarring
What are the causes of acute inflammation? (4)
- mechanical, chemical, radiation, or thermal injury

what are the morphological patterns of acute inflammation? (4)
- serous inflammation
- fibrinous inflammation
- suppurative (purulent) inflammation
- ulcerative inflammation
