LESSON 1: INFLAMMATION & ALLERGY Flashcards
is a complex dynamic response of tissues to damaging noxious stimuli.
Inflammation
it comprises interrelated vascular & cellular changes in affected tissue;
acute inflammation
acute inflammation aims to?
- Remove
- Neutralized
- Repair
what are the 5 cardinal sign of inflammation?
- pain
- altered functions
- redness
- increase temperature
- swelling
PAIN is due to what?
stimulation of local receptors
this is due to reduced activity.
altered function
redness is due to what?
transient hyperemia
increase of temperature is caused by?
increase blood flow
swelling is cause by?
increase vascular permeability
what are the 2 main components of acute inflammation?
- Innate non-immunological response
- Acquired immunological response
in this event circulating neutrophils adhere to the swollen endothelial cells.
Margination
when margination happens this event will be the next, neutrophils actively migrate through the basement membrane vascular epithelium passing into the area of tissue damage
emigration
this migration process is called what??
chemotaxis
chemotaxis is caused by the attraction of _____ to chemotoxins produced in the site of tissue damage
luekocytes
give me the 3 function of acute inflammation
- to dilute (weakend)
- to eliminate (get rid)
- to remove inflammatory debris (clean)
leukocytes are classified into 2, what are those?
- Polymorphonuclear
- Mononuclear
the main cellular events in acute inflammation is caused by?
chemical mediator
during inflammation the endothelial cell of small arterioles are activated to secrete?
- Nitric oxide& prostcycline
- Endothelin, plasminogen activator, platelet-activation factor, thromboxane A2, angiotensin 2, cytokines
endothelial cell function also in _____ which occurs in wound repair, chronic inflammation & cancer.
Angiogenesis
what is the meaning of angiogenesis?
formation of new blood vessels
_______ is the first line of defense
neutrophils
_______ have the capacities similar to those of the neutrophils & release the number of potent granule that can damage multicellular parasites
eosinophils
______ are similar in many aspects of many mast cells; it secrete histamine. but found on circulating blood.
basophils
this _____ are like basophil but can only be found in tissue, it can be activated to secrete histamine.
mast cells
_____ enters the area of inflammation at a larger stage, several hours after the polymorphs; this is associated by chemokines.
monocytes/macrophages
macrophages bind with bacterial ________ that generate & release cytokines that act on vascular endothelial cells to further increased vascular permeability, attract other leukocytes & cause fever
lipopolysaccharide
this ______ involved primarily in blood coagulation & in inflammation.
platelets
platelets is also called _____?
thrombocytes
platelet or thrombocytes generate this 3 substance, what are these?
- Thromboxane A2
- Platelet-activating factor radicals
- pro-inflammatory cationic proteins
what are the neurons that are stimulated in an inflamed areas releasing neuropeptides.
Type C & Ab fibers
what are the functions of type c & ab fibers?
- transmit pain impulses to CNS
- generate chemical mediators (kinins, serotonin) during inflammation
_____ are cell that are specialized lymphocytes that are active in non-immunological reactions.
Natural killer cells
Natural killer cells kills what?
- target cells such as; virus-infected cells
- cancer cells
this____ molecules normally present in normal cells inhibit NK cells by acting on the inhibitory receptors on the NK cells themselves.
MHC
What are the components of exudate ?
- Fluid
- Fibrin
- Neutrophils
- Macrophages
this component of exudate contains salts & high concentratiom of proteins inlcuding immunoglobulins & mediators
Fluid
fluid is predominant in what type of exudate?
serous exudate
this component of exudate is a high molecular weight filamentous insoluble protein
fibrin
fibrin is predominant is what type of exudate
fibrinous exudate
in purulent exudates what cells are present ?
- Neutrophils, Macrophages, Lymphocytes
inflammatory exudates is composed of 5 substances what are those?
- fluid
- electrolytes
- proteins
- cellular elements
- inflammatory mediators
this 2 substances can diffuse into the area of inflammation to support the macrophages
- glucose
- oxygen
immunoglobulin in the exudates may act as?
opsonins
responsible for body production-the humoral immune response
B-Cells
responsible cell mediated immune reactions
T-cells
specialized non-T & non-B lymphoid cells that are active in non-immune innate response
Natural killer cells
This phase involves the production of B cells & T cells from uncommitted lymphocytes.
The induction phase of immunological response
the antigen molecules are presented to the lymphocytes by the?
Antigen-presenting cells (APC)
The APC engulf & process the antigen & present it to uncommitted ______ also known as t-helper precursor, in association with HMC
CD4 + T helper lymphocytes
the CD4 develop this _____, a cytokine which act on the same cells causing their proliferation, producing clones of activated T cells (Th0) give rise to 2 subsets which are the (Th1 & Th2)
Interleukins-2
IL-12 is produced by?
APC
IL-4 is produce by?
some Th0
what does Th1 controls?
it controls cell-mediated responses
Th1 secrete this______ which, activates CD8+ to become cytotoxic cells that kill virally infected host cells.
interferon-gamma (IFN-Y)
IL-4 is derived from ______ cells that inhibit Th1 function
Th2 cells
what does Th2 pathway controls ?
it controls antibody humoral-mediated responses
IFN-y is derived from ____, that inhibits Th2
Th1
this phase involves how the cells that is produce in induction phase, acts to eliminate antigens. This acts may be (antibody or cell mediated)
The effect phase of the immunological response
______ can form a link between a parasite & eosinophils, which are the able to damage or kill the parasite.
Antibody
______ can attach to mast cells & basophils to stimulate these cells to release histamine & other inflammatory mediators
IgE
