Q

How does Recognition of innate immunity work?

A

If pathogen sensed, PRR binds to it and produces cytokines and interferons which tell the body to produce immunity/reaction

Q

how does recruitment of innate immunity work?

A

-the cytokines will act on the endothelium of blood vessel and inflammatory cells.
-mast cells will release granules and histamine when sense danger or bind complement
-histamine stimulates inflam cells which react and allow the appropriate cells to move to the site of insult

Q

what is involved when the contents of granules are released into extracellular space?

A

19
Q

what is involved in a Neutrophil extracellular trap?

A

-composed primarily of neutrophil DNA
-binds pathogens
-disarm them with antimicrobial proteins
-physical barrier
-minimize damage to host cells

20
Q

what is involved in direct cell mediated killing of damaged/infected cells?

A

control of natural killer cells

21
Q

what are natural killer cells

A

-perforin forms pores in plasma membrane
-granzyme enters via perforin pores
-activates apoptosis, cleaves many things
-very controlled

22
Q

how do we control NKCs

A

remove the inhibitor and bind the activator to release killing enzymes

23
Q

2 categories of inflammation

A

acute, chronic

24
Q

what happens during acute inflammation

A

-dilation of small blood vessels
-increase vascular permeability
-emigration of leukocytes
-minutes to days

25
Q

what happens during chronic inflammation?

A

-infiltration with mononuclear cells
-tissue destruction
-attempts at healing
-days to years

26
Q

what are cardinal signs of inflammation?

A

-rubor
-tumor
-calor
-dolor
-functio laesa

27
Q

what part of acute inflammation is the fluidic phase

A
  1. dilation of small blood vessels
  2. increased vascular permeability
28
Q

what part of acute inflammation is the cellular phase

A
  1. emigration of leukocytes from vasculature
29
Q

what happens during dilation of small blood vessels?

A

-changes in blood
-vasodilation (involves arterioles, opening of new capillary beds)
-results in increased blood flow (erythema)

30
Q

what happens during increased vascular permeability?

A

-hallmark of acute inflammation
-post capillary venules
-allows plasma proteins and leukocytes to reach sites of infection
-early fluid leakage is low protein, low cellularity
-both increase as response increases

31
Q

what are mechanisms of vascular permeability

A

retraction of endothelial cells
endothelial injury
leukocyte mediated vascular injury
increased transcytosis

32
Q

what happens during vasodilation microvascular permeability

A

-loss of fluid and increased vessel diameter
(-results in slower blood flow
-conc of red cells
-increased blood viscosity)
-leads to venous stasis -congestion (redness)
-leukocytes come out of laminar flow to contact endothelium

33
Q

what causes redness and heat in acute inflammation?

A

vasodilation, stasis, hemoconcentration

34
Q

what is transudate?

A

-extravascular fluid with low protein content, low SG, and few cells
-clear, thin, effusions, and edema

35
Q

what causes transudate fluid leakage?

A

leaky vessels
retraction of endothelial cells
due to increased histamines

36
Q

what is exudate protein leakage?

A

endothelial gaps get bigger and more proteins and cells leak out making the fluid more cloudy and viscous
-low protein, SG, and increased cells

37
Q

what is fibrin?

A

-an insoluble protein formed from fibrinogen during the clotting of blood, it forms a fibrous mesh that impedes the flow of blood
-made in liver
-forms friable, threads, and plaques during acute inflammations

38
Q

how is fibrin formed

A

thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin

39
Q

what components occur during the cellular phase of acute inflammation (recruitment) ?

A

-deliver leukocytes to site of injury
-allows for removal
-leukocyte adhesion cascade

40
Q

what is involved in leukocyte adhesion cascade

A

margination
rolling
stable (tight) adhesions
transmigration

41
Q

what is cellular exudate?

A

-viscous, opaque
-may have flecks of fibrin, pockets of fluid
-cells recruited to site of injury
-can remove damage
-neutrophils=pus, suppurative

42
Q

what causes redness

A

increased blood flow and vascular permeability

43
Q

what causes heat

A

increased blood flow

44
Q

what causes swelling

A

edema, and cell accumulation

45
Q

what causes pain

A

damage to tissue, release of mediators of inflammation

46
Q

what causes loss of function

A

due to pain and tissue damage
