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 bodies first and second line of defenses are considered:
non-specific
The bodies 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) & molecules (mediators) (nonspecific)
Describe the body’s third line of defense:
Immune responses- acquired - antibodies (humoral) & cytotoxic T-cells (cellular) (specific)
Skin, mucous membranes, and 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 and 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 of inflammatory responses include:
- complement
- clotting factors (platelets)
The cells and proteins of the ECM of the inflammatory responses include:
- Mast cells
- Macrophages
What components of the inflammatory response is characterized by functioning to eliminate microbes and debris?
PMNs/Neutrophils
What components of the inflammatory response is comprised of T-cells, B-cells, and NK cells and function to produce antibodies?
Lymphocytes
What components of the inflammatory response are important for repair?
Eosinophils
Lymphocytes (circulating blood cells & 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 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 & chemicals leave the blood & enter tissue
Inflammation is a ____ to injury
complex reaction
Inflammation is a complex reaction to injury including: (4)
- vascular responses
- cellular responses

- 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 5R’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)
- Calor- heat

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

- plasma cells
Proliferation of blood vessels and fibroblasts occurs in _____ inflammation
chronic
Chronic inflammation is typically _____ and associated with fibrosis & scarring
non-exudative
Chronic inflammation can be described as non-exudative meaning its associated with:
