Principles of Pathology 2 Flashcards
1
Q
inflammation
A
- localizes or eliminates the cause of injury
- removes injured tissue components
- leads to repair
2
Q
inflammation mediated by
A
- extracellular molecular signals that activate humoral and cellular inflammatory pathways
3
Q
role of inflammation mediators
A
- causes the movement of fluid and leukocytes from blood into extravascular compartment
4
Q
double edged sword of inflammation
A
- usually is beneficial
- but can cause morbidity and mortality
5
Q
four cardinal signs of inflammation
A
- rubor (redness)
- tumor (swelling)
- calor (heat)
- dolor (pain)
- functio laesa (loss of function)
6
Q
what acute inflammation looks like in the cell
A
- has densely packed polymorphonuclear neutrophils with MULTI LOBED nuclei
7
Q
what chronic inflammation looks like in the cell
A
- has mononuclear leukocytes, including lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and plasma cells
8
Q
acute inflammation result
A
- much more vascular of a response
- vasodilation
- activation of humoral mediators
9
Q
acute inflammation vasodilation
A
- resulting in increased blood flow causing redness and transudation of fluid causing edema
10
Q
acute inflammation activation of humoral mediators
A
- causing pain, exudation of plasma proteins, and transmigration of neutrophils
- influx of numerous neutrophils
11
Q
chronic inflammation
A
- much more cell mediated
- influx of mononuclear leukocytes
- increased extracellular matrix (collagen)
12
Q
mononuclear leukocyte example
A
- lymphocytes
- monocytes
- macrophages
- plasma cells
13
Q
response to injury
A
- incised wound
- erythema and scab
- erythema and purulent exudate
- scab with erythema and hemosiderin staining
- separated scab, hemorrhage, and granulation tissue
- re-epitheliazed granulation tissue (young scar)
- scar
14
Q
incision with hemorrhage
A
- injury initiates a response to injury that leads to complete restitution of tissue or chronic changes such as scarring
15
Q
coagulation stops hemorrhage
A
- early events
- humoral and cellular activation
16
Q
inflammation humoral example
A
- coagulation
17
Q
inflammation cellular example
A
- platelet
- mast cell
- neutrophil
- endothelial
18
Q
how do nutrients get to sites of injury
A
- follow chemotactic gradients
