Week 3 Flashcards
Fiber types
Collagen
Reticular
Elastic
Collagen properties
Tensile strength
Reticular fiber properties
Tensile strength
Elastic fiber properties
Resiliency
Proteoglycan properties
Rigidity, porosity
Mast cells
Granules contain bioactive substances: Histamine, leukotrienes, proteolycans
Slow release of granule regulates innate immune responses
Histamine
Causes bronchoconstriction by inducing contraction of smooth muscle
Triggers vasodilation, lowers BP
Epinephrine
Binds to adernergic receptors
Smooth muscle relaxation in airways, smooth muscle contraction
Exposure
Contact with a microbe
Infection
Acquisition by a host
Synonymous with disease
Commensalism
Microbe that co-exists with host
Mutualism
Host and microbe benefit
Colonization
Microbe found in non sterile site without causing disease
Latency
Microbe harbored without causing damage
Disease
Clinical evidence that microbe is causing damage to host tissues
Pathogen
Microbe that causes disease or damage to host
Sepsis
Systemic response to an infectious agent - bacterial, viral fungal
Sepsis clinical responses
Change in temperature
Tachycardia
Tachypnea
Alteration in white blood cell count
Sepsis mediators
Complement
Coagulation cascade
Pro-inflammatory mediators
Anti- inflammatory mediators
Sepsis benefits? White cells, Tachycardia, Tachypnea, fever
White cells combat infection
Tachycardia increase CO
Tachypnea increases ventilation
Fever inhibits microbial growth
Septic shock
Sepsis and evidence of insufficient organ perfusion and oxygen delivery
Treating sepsis
Lactate measurement
Blood cultures
Broad spectrum antibiotics
Fluid resuscitation
Sepsis epidemiology
~750,000 cases in N. America
~40,000 children
30-35% mortality in adults, 10% in children
19,000,000 cases worldwide
Acute inflammation causes
Foreign intruder
Tissue necrosis
Trauma
Immune reactions
Vascular reactions
Vasodilation
Increased permeability
Vascular stasis
Cellular reactions
Extravasation
Chemotaxis
Activation
Phagocytosis
Vasodilation
Arteriolar dilation –> hyperemia –> Rubor, calor
Redness/heat
Increased permeability
Endothelial gaps
Neutrophil entry is easier
Edema
Vascular stasis
Slowed blood flow, more time for leukocytes to contact endothelial cells
Extravasation
Roll, bind, squeeze through epithelium
Roll: Selectins
Adhesion: Integrins
Transmigration: PCAM-1
Chemotaxis
Respond via receptors, locomotion based on chemical gradient
Activation
Increase defensive functions - more enzymes
Phagocytosis
Opsinization
Engulfment
Killing/degradation
Chronic inflammation
Prolonged duration
Macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cell
Chronic inflammation causes
Acute inflammation
Persistent infections
Prolonged irritation
Autoimmunity
Lymphocyte-Macrophage interaction
Activate macrophage –> TNF-a/IL-1 activates lymphocyte –> Activated lymphocyte IFN-gamma –> Macrophage activated
Granulomatous inflammation
Special form of chronic inflammation
Epithelioid macrophages
Myobacterium TB, histoplasmosa capsulatum, non infectious materials resistant to degradation
Leukocytosis
Increase in leukocytes
Accelerated release from marrow
Immediate release of storage pools (Vasculature, spleen)
C-Reactive Protein
Liver response to inflammation
‘Binds to damaged tissue and microbes, activates complement/pro-inflammatory cytokines
Hematopoietic cells
Erythroid precursors Megakaryocytes Lymphocytes Plasma cells Monocytes/macrophages
Stromal cells
Fibroblasts/reticulin
Adipose
Osteoclasts/blasts
Endothelial cells
Hematopoietic stem cell
Multipotent
Self renewal
Differentiation
Simple squamos cells
Wider than tall
Fried egg appearance
Allows materials to pass through
Simple squamos examples
Endothelium - lining of blood/lymph vessels, heart cavities
Mesothelium - lining of serous cavities: Pericardium, peritoneum
Simple cuboidal
Width = depth = height
Prevalent in secretory/absorption
Simple cuboidal examlpes
Thyroid follicles
Smaller ducts/glands
Germinal epithelium of ovary
Kidney ducts
Simple columnar
Taller than wide, oval nucleus @ base
Protection and secretion
Plain tall columnar
Mucosa of stomach
SI, LI
Gall bladder
Bigger ducts of glands
Ciliated Columnar
Cells with cilia
Uterus and oviducts
Pseudostratified columnar
All cells touch BM but do not reach surface
Pseudostratified columnar w/motile cilia
Respiratory system: Nasal, larync, trachea, oviducts
