Question
Answer
Inflammation   response to injury  
🗑
Reaction of blood vessels leads to   accumulation of fluid and leukocytes in extravascular tissues  
🗑
What does inflammation do to the injurious agent?   destroys, dilutes, or walls off the injurious agent  
🗑
What does inflammation do in the repair process?   initiates it  
🗑
itis   inflammation  
🗑
Is inflmmation protective or harmful?   fundamentally protective, may be harmful  
🗑
Examples of harmful inflmmation   arthritis, atherosclerosis, scars, insect bites  
🗑
What are the components of inflammatory response?   vascular reaction, cellular (exudative) reaction  
🗑
How is inflammation mediated?   chemical mediators - derived from plasma proteins and from cells inside and outside of blood vessels  
🗑
acute inflammation   short duration, edema, and mainly neutrophils  
🗑
chronic inflammation   longer duration, lymphocytes & macrophage predominate fibrosis, new blood vessels (angiogenesis)  
🗑
granulomatous inflammation   distinctive pattern of chronic inflammation; activated macrophages (epithelioid cells) predominate  
🗑
cellulitis   inflammation of soft tissue - mononuclear cells predominate  
🗑
rubor   erythema (redness) - vasodilation, increased blood flow  
🗑
tumor   swelling - extravascular accumulation of fluid  
🗑
calor   heat - vasodilatation, increased blood flow  
🗑
dolor   pain  
🗑
5th sign (Virchow)   functio laesa - loss of function  
🗑
What are the three major components of acute inflammation?   increased blood flow, edema, leukocytes  
🗑
What visible signs does increased blood flow cause?   redness and warmth  
🗑
In acute inflammation, what does edema result from?   increased hydrostatic pressure (vasodilation) and lowered intravascular osmotic pressure (protein leakage)  
🗑
What do leukocytes do in acute inflammation?   emigrate from microcirculation and accumulate in the focus of injury  
🗑
acute inflammation stimuli   infections, trauma, physical or chemical agents, foregin bodies, immune reactions  
🗑
During acute inflammation, increased hydrostatic pressure increases flow through lymphatics, causing what?   increases antigen presentation and immune responses - lymph fluid enters back at thoracic duct  
🗑
What effect does fluid accumulation have on toxins?   dilutes toxins  
🗑
How does fluid accumulation causing pain benefit the injury site?   decrease use and prevent additional injury  
🗑
Fluid accumulation cause rise in antibodies in blood which provide what benefit?   can kill microbes  
🗑
What can blood plasma proteins do to help in injury?   amplify responses against the injurious agent  
🗑
What is the first mechanism of increased vascular permeability?   gaps due to endothelial contraction - fast and short lived (minutes, most common, venules  
🗑
What is the second mechanism of increased vascular permeability?   direct injury - toxins, burns, chemicals, fast and may be long lived - arterioles, capillaries, venules  
🗑
What is the third mechanisms of increased vascular permeability?   leukocyte-dependent injury - mostly venules, pulmonary capillaries, late response, long lived  
🗑
What is the fourth mechanism of increased vascular permeability?   increased transcytosis - venules, vascular endothelium-derived growth factor  
🗑
What is the fifth mechanism of increased vascular permability?   new blood vessel formation - angiogenesis - persists until intercellular junctions form  
🗑
Extravasation   delivery of leukocytes from the vessel lumen to the interstitium  
🗑
What happens in the lumen in extravasation?   margination, rolling and adhesion  
🗑
diapedesis   migration across the endothelium  
🗑
chemotaxis   migration in the interstitial tissue  
🗑
What do leukocytes do in extravasation?   phagocytize, kills microbes, degrade necrotic tissue and foreign antigens  
🗑
What determines leukocyte adhesion and migration across vessel wall?   binding of complementary adhesion molecules on the leukocyte and endothelial surfaces  
🗑
What is the sequence of leukocyte emigration?   neutrophils (6-24 hrs), monocyts in 24-48 hrs  
🗑
What happens after neutrophils and monocytes show up in leukocyte emigration?   induction/activation of different adhesion molecule pairs and specific chemotactic factors in different phases of inflammation  
🗑
What do chemical mediators do in leukocyte adhesion?   affect these processes by modulating the expression or avidity of the adhesion molecule  
🗑
serous inflammation   outpouring of thin fluid (serous effusion, blisters)  
🗑
Fibrinous inflammation   body cavities; leakge of fibrin; may lead to scar tissues  
🗑
suppurative (purulent) inflammation   pus or purulent exudate (neutrophils, debris, edema fluid) abscess: localized collections of pus  
🗑
ulcers   local defect of the surface of an organ or tissue produced by the sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue  
🗑
chronic inflammation   inflammation of prolonged duration (weeks or months)  
🗑
What proceed simultaneously in chronic inflammation?   active inflammation, tissue destruction, and attemps at repair  
🗑
How does the timing of chronic inflammation intersect with that of acute inflammation?   may follow acute inflammation or being insidiously and often asymptomatically  
🗑
persistent infections   Treponema pallidum (syphilis), viruses, fungi, parasites  
🗑
