🗑
What are the consequences of mediator elaboration and leukocyte-mediated damage?   2 of the FIVE CLASSIC SIGNS: PAIN and LOSS OF FUNCTION  
🗑
5 Triggers of Acute inflammation   1. Infections 2. Trauma 3. Tissue Necrosis 4. Foreign bodies 5. Immune reaction (hypersensitivity)  
🗑
What causes REDNESS?   Increased blood flow to the region.  
🗑
What causes HEAT?   Increased blood flow to the region and increased cellular metabolism.  
🗑
What causes SWELLING?   EDEMA from increased hydrostatic pressure and increased vascular permeability  
🗑
What causes PAIN?   Due to edema, kinins and prostaglandins  
🗑
What causes LOSS OF FUNCTION?   Due to edema, pain, fibrosis and leukocyte-mediated damage.  
🗑
What causes the increase in vascular blood?   Vasoconstriction and arterial vasodilation resulting in engorged capillary beds. This causes RBCs to be more concentrated and blood viscosity to INCREASE.  
🗑
What is STASIS?   The numerous small vessels packed with erythrocytes.  
🗑
What does stasis cause?   A disruption of the normal flow of blood so that WBCs will migrate there and adhere to the endothelium  
🗑
Mechanism involved in icreased vascular permiability   Early phase of vasodilation resulting in increased blood flow which cause hydrostatic pressure in blood vessels. (Endothelial cell Contraction, Direct Endothelial Injury, Leukocyte-mediated Injury, Increased Transcytosis, Leakage from blood vessels).  
🗑
What is TRANSUDATE?   The name for the fluids and low molecular weight solutes moving into tissue, typically clear, brought on by hydrostatic imbalance.  
🗑

🗑
What are the 3 stages of Phagocytosis?   1) Recognition and attachment. 2) Engulfment. 3) Killing and degradation.  
🗑
How are Recognition and Attachment mediated?   By serum factors called OPSONINS that coat the surface (Fc fragments of IgG, C3b).  
🗑
How does Engulfment occur?   Phagocytic vacuole formation around the target and fuse with lysosome to form Phagolysosome. Secondary messengers (mainly Ca)are initiated that cause activation of protein kinase C.  
🗑
How does Killing and degradation occur?   Following the engulfment, a release of lysosomal granule content and degranulation of leukocytes. The leukocytes increases in metabolic activity with increased O2 & glycogenolysis "Oxidative or Respiratory Burst".  
🗑
What are the 2 mechanism of Phagocytic killing and degradation?   Oxygen Dependent Mechanism & Non-Oxygen Dependent Mechanism.  
🗑
Oxygen dependent mechanism   O2 is reduced to form free radicals that convert to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). With Myeloperoxidase, it forms HOCl which is an antimicrobial agent. Reactive oxygen intermediate is toxic to bacteria.
