Q

What are the major aspects and steps of inflammation?simple form

A
  1. Cytokines and lipid mediators produced by macrophages cause dilation of local small blood vessels
  2. Leukocytes move to periphery of blood vessels a result of increased expression of adhesion molecules by endothelium
  3. Leukocytes extravasate at site of infection
  4. Blood clotting occurs in microvesseles

Q

What are the steps of the process with which neutrophils are recruited to an inflamed tissue? Simple way

A

-1. They try to slow down called rolling adehsion
2. Try to bind (Tight binding)
3. After binding, tries to squeeze in (diapedesis)
4. Migration and finally neutrophils get to where the most bacteria is

Q

What are the steps of the process with which neutrophils are recruited to an inflamed tissue? complicated way

A

Rolling adhesion: reversible binding to vascular endothelium by interactions between selectins induced on the endothelial cells surface and their carbohydrate ligands (glycoproteins) on the neutrophil
Tight binding
Diapedesis: ○ Neutrophil squeezes between endothelial cells (to extravasate)LFA-1 and CR3 are required], uses CD31 for adhesion and MMP-9 to penetrate basement membrane
Migration-: Neutrophil migrates along a concentration gradient of chemokines (CXCL8) secreted by cells at site of infection

Q

Monocytes binds adhesion molecules at

A

vascular endothelium near site of infection and recieved chemokine signal.
The monocyte migrates into the surrounding tissue
Monocyte differentiates into inflammatory monocyte at the site of infection.
