Principles of inflammation 1 Flashcards
causes of inflammation
physical:
trauma, surgery
causes of inflammation
chemical:
mediical drugs
causes of inflammation
infection
bacteria, fungi, virsus
causes of inflammaion
immune reaction
allergy, auto-immune
inflammation signs
red, warm, swelling, pain –or loss of function
inflamamtion events (1-3)
vasoconstriction, vasodialation, statis-capillaries + venules
vasodialation
increased blood flow
leads to erthema and heat
statis-caillaries and venules
hemonconcentration -> ^ viscosisty
margination of leukocytes
Permeability mechanisms
endothelial gaps
rapid/short lived
reversible
due to endothelial contraction
mediated by histamine
permeability mechanism
direct injruy
arterioles, capillaries
toxins, burn, chemicals
rapid/long lived
Permeabilty mechanism
leukocyte-dependent injury
ppolys cause injury when adhere to endothelim
–>release of free radicals
Permeability mechanism
Transcytosis
early response
transport endothelim via cytoplasmic vesicles
mediated by VEGF–> new vessels forming
Results in early acute inflammtion
edema (Extracellular h2o)
hemoconcentration (intravascular) from fluid loss
pain from press within tissues
transudate
fluid clear and mostly water
exudate
fluid, protein, cells
