Powerpoint-Chap2 Flashcards
What are the acute inflammatory cell
granulocytes
What are the 3 main involvements of acute inflammation
vascular dilation and increased flow
microvasculature alterations to allow egress of cells and proteins
emigration, accumulation and activation of leukocytes
What are the 4 cardinal signs of inflammation
dolor-pain
calor-heat
rubor-redness
tumor-swelling
What is the 5th cardinal sign of acute inflammation
functio laesa-loss of function
What is the Lewis Triple response
red line(vasodilation)
red flare- after 15-30 seconds (vasodilation)
wheal in 1-3 minutes (vascular leakage)
what cells release histamine
mast cells
how can we completely stop inflammation
cutting the nerves involved
What can cause acute inflammation
infections, necrotic tissues, hypoxia, foreign bodies, immune reactions
what factor during hypoxia causes inflammation
hypoxic induced factor 1 alpha
what is released in necrotic tissue to cause inflammation
uric acid, ATP, HMGB-1 DNA
what are the main triggers of inflammation in an infection(foreign)
toll like R and cytoplasmic R
In a blood smear describe what neutrophils look like
have 3+ nuclei usually. young neutrophils have the banded nucleus
In a blood smear what do the eosinophils look like
hace 2 nuclei usually
In a blood smear what do the basophils look like
stain darker and very punctuated
What do the lymphocytes look like in blood smear? how do you tell them from monocytes
have oval purple nucleus
monocytes stain lighter, and have more cytoplasm(nucleus usually kidney shaped
What are majority of cells in a virus caused inflammation
lymphocytes
what are majority of cells in a pseudomonas caused reaction
neutrophil dominance
what is the normal pattern of cell population in acute inflammation
granulocytes early followed by monocytes
neutrophils followed by macrophages
What chemical mediators cause vascular permeability
histamine, bradykinin and leukotrienes
what is exudation and what causes it
fluid, proteins, RBC and WBC in intravascular space as a resuls of increased osmotic pressure extravascular, and increased hydrostatic pressure intravascular
What is vascular stasis
slowing of blood with vasodilation and fluid exudation to allow chemical mediators and inflammatory cells to collect and respond to stimulus
what 2 componenets contribute to vascular stasis
less blood (fluid loss) and vasodilation
what is the term margination
leukocytes accumulating on vascular endothelium
What are the two manifestations from vasodilation
erythema and warmth
