  2. inflammatory-stimulated
20
Q

describe the role of monocytes in inflammation

A
  • migrate from blood to interstitium
  • rapidly differentiate
  • produce inflammatory mediators
  • process antigens for presentation
  • facilitate angiogenesis
21
Q

what cytokine stimulates macrophages for inflammation

22
Q

what cytokine stimulates macrophages for repair

23
Q

describe multinucleated giant cells

A
  • fusion of activated macrophages
  • GRANULOMATOUS
24
Q

describe natural killer cells

A
  • kills cells recognized as foreign
  • cytokine secretion
  • activate macrophages and dendritic cells
25
Q

describe dendritic cells

A
  • key APC
  • present in many tissues
26
Q

describe B lymphocytes

A
  • differentiate to plasma cells (antibodies)
  • elimination of extracellular microbes
27
Q

describe helper T lymphocytes

A
  • recognizes MHC II

28
Q

describe T regulatory cells

A
  • immunosuppression
  • prevent uncontrolled inflammation
