Tissue Response to Injury Flashcards
What is the tissue response to injury?
-Inflammation
-Repair
-Cellular adaptation
-Intracellular accumulation and extra cellular deposition
-Cell death
What’s is meant by inflammation?
Tissue response to injury characterized by exudate formation and cellular reaction.
What causes the formation of the exudate?
The increased capillary permeability + hydrostatic pressure
What are the Celtic Al mediators released by the macrophages during inflammation?
-Histamine
-Serotonin
-Prostaglandins
-Cytokines
-complement system esp. C3a, C5a
What are the steps of phagocytosis?
1-Opsonization
2-Engulfment
3-Degradation
Regarding opsonization: what is responsible oxygen dependent and oxygen independent mechanisms?
Hydrogen peroxide, lysosomal enzymes
How is the complement system activists?
1- Antigen antibody complex
2-Bacterial surface
What is the fate of acute inflammation?
1-Complete resolution
2-Regression and healing
3-Spread of infection
4-Chronicity
What’s are the main cells of chronic inflammation?
Macrophages
What’s are the microscopic features of chronic inflammation?
Fibrosis
Granuloma
Ulcer
Types of granuloma;
Infectious granuloma
