Question 0

erythrocytes

Answer 0

• Also called RBCs

- they are needed to bring oxygen to the cells and tissues

Question 1

Leukocytes

Answer 1

• these are WBCs that defend the body against microorganisms and promote and immune response
• in particular neutrophils are phagocytic cells
• monocytes are also phagocytic cells; they are called macrophages once they enter the tissue

Question 2

Cardinal signs of inflammation

Answer 2

• redness
• swelling
• heat
• pain
• loss of function

Question 3

Systemic signs of inflammation

Answer 3

• Lymphadenitis
• pyrexia
• leukocytosis

Question 4

Lymphadenitis

Answer 4

Enlargement or inflammation of nearby lymph nodes; occurs because of filtering or draining harmful substances at the injury site

Question 5

Pyrexia

Answer 5

Fever; chemical mediators at directly on the hypothalamus; fever stimulates phagocytosis and inhibits the growth of certain microorganisms

Question 6

Leukocytosis

Answer 6

Elevation in WBCs

Question 7

Treating acute inflammation

Answer 7

• reduce blood flow to the local area
• decrease swelling
• Block the action of various chemical mediators
• the goal is to minimize the damage to healthy unaffected tissue
• nonpharmacologic treatments include
  
  • rest
  • ice
  • compression
  • elevation

Question 8

Healing

Answer 8

Three slides

Question 9

Primary intention

Answer 9

• Smaller wounds with approximated wound edges heal quicker than large crater like wounds
• approximated wound edges are “lined up” or close together such as a surgical incision or papercut
• risk for infection is reduced and scarring is minimal

Question 10

Secondary intention

Answer 10

• Larger, open, craterlike wounds must heal from the bottom up
• there’s a greater risk for infection and scarring
• these wounds produce a great deal of collagen during the healing process

Ex- burn

Question 11

Restoring functional integrity

Answer 11

Regeneration occurs in cells that undergo mitotic division

• proliferation
• differentiation
• replacement

Question 12

Proliferation

Answer 12

Growth and reproduction

Question 13

Differentiation

Answer 13

Specialization

Question 14

Replacement

Answer 14

• production of scar tissue in extensive wounds when regeneration is not possible
• permanent cells do not undergo mitosis
