P9 - Inflammation Part 4 Flashcards
exudate is part of
- active part of inflammation
exudate components (3)
- fluid component
- cellular component
- chemical component
fluid component of exudate
- medium for cells, nutrients and other factors
cellular component of exudate
- granulocytes and mononuclear cells
chemical component of exudate
- factors that drive and regulate inflammation
transudate is part of
- passive congestion
transudate and exudate effect on vascular permeability
- exudate -> increased
- transudate -> no change
transudate and exudate protein content
- transudate - low
- exudate - 2.5-3
transudate and exudate cells
- transudate - rare cells present
- exudate - high number of inflammatory cells
exudate categorized based on timeframe
- acute ( <10 days)
- chronic ( >10 days)
types of acute exudate (5)
- serous
- serohemorrhagic
- fibrinous
- catarrhal
- purulent
types of chronic exudate (2)
- granulomatous
- lymphoplasmacytic
exudate that is composed of blood plasma with very few cells
- often seen in cavities, skin, lungs and mucosal surfaces
- high in protein
- changes in vascular permeability
- very few inflammatory cells
serous
exudate that is a result of vascular damage or widespread diapedesis that red tinged
serohemorrhagic
benefit of serous and serohemorrhagic exudate (2)
- dilute bacteria
- increase nutrients that tissue needs
cost of serous and serohemorrhagic exudate
- problematic when fills cavities on in respiratory tract
