Tissue response to injury Flashcards
margination
leukocytes (neutrophils and macrophages) adhere along the cell walls
leukocytes
granulocytes, agranulocytes
diapedesis
passage of blood cells, via ameoboid action through the intact capillary wall
exudate
accumulation of fluid in an area
neutrophils
a type of leukocyte
phagocytes
neutrophils, macrophages, and leukocytes that ingest microorganisms, other cells, and foreign particles
vasoconstriction
decrease in the diameter of a blood vessel
macrophages
a phagocytic cell of the immune system
lymphocytes
cells that are the primary means of providing the body with immune capabilities
fibroblast
any cell component from which fibers are developed
fibroplasia
period of scar formation
collagen
main organic constituent of connective tissue
microtears
involve only minor damage and are most often associated with overuse
macrotears
involve significantly greater destruction of soft tissue and result in clinical symptoms and functional alterations. Macrotears are generally caused by acute trauma
nocioreceptors
receptors of pain
