Vascular Response (Inflammation) Flashcards
injury causes immediate…
vasoconstriction
why does vasoconstriction occur
dec blood flow to site (ischemic injury)
what is activated in vascular response
inflm mediators
examples of inflm mediators
histamine & prostaglandin
inflm mediators cause what to occur
- vasodilation
- inc permeability
vasodilation causes what to happen
hyperemia (inc perfusion to site)
hyperemia causes what to happen
erythema & warmth
inc permeability causes what to form
exudate
exudate forms causing what to happen
fluid, cells & protein shift –> swelling –> pain
what happens due to pain
immobilization
vascular response
vasoconstriction, vasodilation, & inc permeability
histamine causes …
vasodilation & inc in permeability
prostaglandin causes …
same as histamine + inc pain
