M1: Acute & Chronic Inflammation Flashcards
Cell death
Necrosis
Protective response to rid the initial cause of cell injury. Complex reactions of both blood vessels and leukocytes.
Inflammation
Fluid portion of the blood
Plasma
Body’s principal defenders against foreign invaders
Plasma proteins, Circulating leukocytes & Tissue phagocytes “PCT”
Protein is primarily synthesized in what organ
Liver
Triggers the vascular & cellular reaction
Soluble factors
Blood component, polymorphonuclear cell, responsible for Acute Inflammation.
Neutrophil
Blood component responsible for Chronic Inflammation
Macrophage & Leukocyte
Primarily from B Lymphocytes
Plasma cells
Elimination of offending agent is achieved by
Termination of Inflammation
Blood component that has a short lifespan in tissues
Leukocytes
Repair of damage tissue/cell. Example is abrasion of skin.
Regeneration
Filling of the defect with fibrous tissue
Scarring
Produce by fibroblast
Collagen
Hardening of the blood vessels
Atherosclerosis
Cardinal signs of an Infection
Rubor, Tumor, Calor, Dolor & Functio Laesa
Cardinal sign: redness
Rubor
Cardinal sign: pain
Dolor
Cardinal sign: loss of function
Functio Laesa
Cardinal sign: heat
Calor
Cardinal sign: swelling
Tumor
Rapid host response that serves to deliver leukocytes and plasma proteins. Early onset, involving fluid exudation and polymorphonuclear cell immigration.
Acute Inflammation
Two main components of Inflammation
Vascular wall response & Inflammatory response
Later onset and longer duration involving lymphocytes and macrophages, with blood vessels proliferation and fibrosis.
Chronic Inflammation
