Terminology Flashcards
Transudate
L6 Recruitment
Low protein fluid that leaks out
Low protein ultra filtrate formed because of the increase of hydrostatic pressure in the micro circulation
Exudate
L6 Recruitment
protein rich fluid formed as a result of increased vascular permeability
edema
Diapedesis
L6 Migration recruitment of leukocytes
movement of leukocytes between cells at the intercellular junctions
Chemotaxis
L6
a chemical gradient produced by exogenous (infection) and endogenous (host factors) sources
Odema
L6
Increase in the amount of fluid in the interstitial space
Aids in diluting and flushing toxins

L9 Healing by second intention
modified fibroblast with smooth muscle cell like properties, contracts and reduces the size of the wound
Fibrosis
L8
Substantial tissue destruction and scar deposition-> does not return to normal function of the tissue
Karyolysis
L4
Digestion and progressive fading of the nucleus
decreased basophilia from DNA breakdown
Karyorrhexia
L4
Fragmentation of the nuclear membrane
Pyknosis
L4
clumping of chromatin
nuclear shrinkage and increased basophilia
