Patho- inflammation - acid base imbalance Flashcards
what are the steps of acute inflammation?
Vascular response
cellular response
What is vascular response?
stat brief vasoconstriction
leukocytes, mast cells, and platelets release mediators histamine and prostaglandin
histamine and prostaglandin brings capillary dilation, increase cap permeability,dilates blood vessels and mediates pain
vasodilation increase blood flow to area which causes hyperaemia
increased cap permeability allows exudate to form
fluid and protein shift causing swelling and pain
pain causes immobilization
Vasoconstriction- vs- Vasodilation
Vasoconstriction- clotting occurs during
Vasodilation- brings resources to site
What is hyperaemia?
redness, flushed warm skin
caused by vasodilation
what is a histamine?
a protein that is released by leukocytes, mast cells, and platelets which causes capillary dilation –> chemical response takes longer than euro response
increase cap permeability
dilates blood vessels
what is prostaglandin?
prostaglandin is considered a local hormone
(acts on point of release, does different things at different sites)
brings cap dilation. dilates blood vessels and mediates plain
Why do you need increased cap permeability?
allows exudate to form
what is exudate?
proteins, cells and plasma
what does the fluid and protein shift cause?
swelling and pain
signs of inflammation
redness, warmth, swelling, pain
what do leukocytes, mast cells and platelets release?
mediators- histamine, and prostaglandin
What is the cellular response?
Chemotaxis of neutrophils and other WBC to site
margination on endothelium assisted by adhesion molecules (integrins and selections)
Diapedesis/ emigration into tissue spaces
phagocytosis of cell debris and foreign particles
what is chemotaxis?
movement of an organism in response to a chemical stimulus
what is margination?
process in which free-flowing leukocytes exit the central blood stream, and initiate leukocyte and endothelial cell interactions by close mechanical contact.
what are adhesion molecules
selectin and integrins
Selectins
type of adhesion molecule
integrins
type of adhesion molecule
what is diapedesis ?
is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system, towards the site of tissue damage or infection
what is emigration
same as diapedesis
what are PCAM
platelet cell adhesion molecules
types of exudate?
serous purulent/ suppurative hemorrhagic fibrinous membranous
what is serous exudate ?
watery, decreased proteins of cells
mild, acute inflammation
what is purulent/ suppurative exudate?
pus, WBC, necrotic debris
cloudy, foul odour
severe, acute inflammation
what is hemorrhagic exudate?
RBCs
severe injury
what is fibrinous exudate?
increased number of fibrinogen
forms sticky mesh
what is membranous exudate?
developing mucus membrane
necrotic cells in fibropurulent exudate
systemic manifestations of inflammation ?
malaise, fatigue, headache
fever
what does fever do ?
enhances phagocytosis and triggers immune response
inhibits reproduction and growth of pathogens
why is fever considered good?
enhances phagocytosis and triggers immune response, inhibits reproduction and growth of pathogens
what is the pathogenesis of fever?
Exogenous pyrogens–> endogenous pyrogens–> PGE 2—> hypothalamic receptor–> adj temp to set point via CAMP
what does the hypothalamic receptor do?
adjusts temperature set point via CAMP
What is CRP
C- Reactive protein
Hepatic protein
What does CRP do?
Produced in response to inflammation;
acts as a serum marker, role in defence via complement, non specific marker
has increased levels in atherosclerosis
what are some treatments of inflammation ?
Cold, Elevation, pressure, heat, NSAIDS, steroidal anti inflam drugs
What does cold do to inflm ?
decreases swelling–> increases vasoconstriction, less volume of blood–> decreased pressure –> decreased volume of exudate–> decreased swelling
What does elevation and pressure do to inflam?
decreased blood flow, decreases exudate, decreases swelling
what does heat do to inflam ?
stimulates phagocytosis
what do NSAIDS do to inflam?
decrease prostaglandin synthesis–> decrease in pain
What do steroidal anti- inflame drugs do to inflam?
decrease permeability
decrease WBC and mast cells at site
decrease prostaglandin and histamine release
what are the three types of abnormal immune response?
autoimmunity
hypersensitivity
immunodeficiency
what is immunodeficiency ?
partial or complete loss of immune response
increases risk of disease
what are the types of immunodeficiency ?
primary and secondary immunodeficiency
what is primary immunodeficiency ?
immunodeficiency that is genetic or congenital
what is secondary immunodeficiency ?
acquired or post natal immunodeficiency
is genetic primary or secondary?
primary
types of secondary immunodeficiency
T- cell disorders B- cell disorders T&B- cell disorders Complement disorders phagocytosis disorders
what type of infection could cause secondary immunodeficiency ?
AIDS
causes of secondary immunodeficiency ?
Cancer treatments
infection (aids)
immunosuppressive drugs
What are T cell disorders?
Impaired T cell function
What are B cell disorders?
impaired Antibody production
What are T&B cells disorders
impaired immune function
what are complement disorders?
problems with complement
