STEPS TO ACUTE INFLAMMATION HEALING Flashcards
what are the cellular events in inflammatory healing?
margination adherence transmigration chemotaxis and leukocyte activation phagocytosis
name this cellular event?
leukocytes are swept against the vascular wall in post capillary venues due to flow dynamics and roll along the vessel wall
-selectins (an adhesion molecules) are responsible
margination and rolling
what protein is this?
four molecular families especially selectins that mediate rolling, contain an extracellular domain that binds sugars and expressed on endothelial cells in low levels or not at all
adhesion molecules
name this cellular event?
determined by binding of complementary adhesion molecules, integrins, located on the WBC
expression and attractiveness of the molecule influenced by chemical mediators (chemokines)
uses integrins
adhesion
name this cellular event?
migration of WBC through vessel wall
squeeze between cells at intercellular junctions
-mediated by PECAM-1
transmigration
what are the sites of adhesion molecules?
endothelial cell
leukocyte
platelets
name this cellular event?
locomotion along a chemical gradient in which granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes respond
can be endogenous and exogenous
chemotaxis
what are the chemotactic agent functions?
locomotion
leukocyte activation
leukocyte activation causes?
*stimuli?
production of arachidonic acid metabolites
degranulation, secretion of lysosomal enzymes, and oxygen burst
modulation of leukocyte adhesion molecules
*microbes, products of necrotic cells, mediators
