P7 - Inflammation Part 2 Flashcards
granulocytes (4)
- neutrophils
- eosinophils
- basophils
- mast cells
mononuclear cells (2)
- monocytes/macrophages
- lymphocytes
where are neutrophils produced
- bone marrow
do neutrophils respond early or late to infection
- early
how do neutrophils kill pathogens
- phagocytosis
neutrophils primary granules (3)
- myeloperoxidase
- defensins
- neutral proteases
neutrophils secondary granules (4)
- lactoferrin
- collagenase
- plasminogen activator
- histamine
role of neutrophil granules (2)
- intracellular killing
- extracellular degranulation
neutrophil extracellular traps composed of
- neutrophil granule proteins and DNA that trap and likely kill pathogens
where are eosinophils produced
- bone marrow
what type of diseases are eosinophils most often associated with (2)
- hypersensitivities
- parasites
how do eosinophils eliminate pathogens
- degranulate
parts of eosinophils degranulation (3)
- major basic protein
- phosphates
- proteases
presentations of feline eosinophilic lesions
- eosinophilic plaques
- eosinophilic (linear) granulomas
- eosinophilic (indolent, rate) ulcer
eosinophilic plaques features (4)
- round to ovoid
- single to multiple
- very pruritic
- mostly seen on trunk
eosinophilic (linear) granulomas features (3)
- linear
- elevated lesions
- often on thigh
eosinophilic (indolent, rat) ulcer features (3)
- round to ovoid
- ulcerated
- on lips
eosinophilic granuloma of dogs is more prevalent in
- male dogs
- huskies and spaniels
eosinophilic granuloma of dogs form
- oral
- cutaneous also seen
