Q

neutrophil activation and chemotaxis and adhesion

18
Q

recognized by specific receptors (H1, H2 and H3)

19
Q

The functions of the complement system are mediated by

A

by breakdown products of C3 and other complement proteins, & by the membrane attack complex (MAC).

20
Q

may also be released from macrophages upon stimulation with IFN-g and TNF-a

21
Q

stored in platelets, mast cells and enterochromaffin cells of the GI tract
-has vasoactive properties

22
Q

Protein cell products that act as a message to other cells, telling them how to behave & modulate their function
Products of many cell types (principally activated lymphocytes & macrophages)
Produced during immune and inflammatory responses

A

Cytokines

IL-1, TNF-a and -B, IFN-y are especially important in inflammation.

23
Q

Induce the systemic acute-phase responses, these include fever, lethargy, hepatic synthesis of various proteins, metabolic wasting (cachexia), neutrophil release into the circulation, and release of adrenocorticotropic hormone (inducing corticosteroid synthesis and release)

23
Q

Thrombin

A

Enhancing leukocyte adhesion, vascular permeability and chemotactic

25
Q

activates the complement pathway

26
Q

As an opsonin, increases phagocytosis

27
Q

Induces smooth muscle constriction and causes increased vascular permeability, vasodilation & pain

A

Bradykinin (kinins)

28
Q

Leukocyte chemotaxin, increases integrin avidity

29
Q

Initiated by a number of by-products of tissue damage including: collagen, cartilage, basement membranes, endotoxin and plasmin

30
Q

Fever

A

Pg,cytokines

31
Q

Activation of complement by different pathways leads to cleavage of

32
Q

cleaves prekallikrein to kallikrein which in turn cleaves the proenzyme kininogen to bradykinin

A

activated factor XII

32
Q

generates plasmin from plasminogen

A

activated factor XII

34
Q

activation of ………..ultimately results in the cleavage of fibrinogen to fibrin and smaller fibrinopeptides which serve as inflammatory mediators

……also activates the fibrinolytic system via plasmin formation
