| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| abscess | localized pocket of infection or purulent exudate surrounded by inflammation |
| adhesions | a band of fibrous scar tissue forming an abnormal connection between 2 surfaces |
| anorexia | loss of appetite |
| chemical mediators | a chemical released in the body during an inflammatory response or immune response |
| adhesions | a band of fibrous scar tissue forming an abnormal connection between 2 surfaces |
| anorexia | loss of appetite |
| chemical mediators | a chemical released in the body during an inflammatory response or immune response |
| chemotaxis | the movement of cells toward or away from an area of the body in response to chemical signals |
| collagen | the common protein making up connective tissue and bone |
| contracture | shortening of a muscle or scar tissur causing immobility and deformity of a joint or structure |
| diapedesis | the passage of leukocytes thro intact capillary walls to a site of inflammation |
| ESR erythrocyte sedimentation rate | the rate RBCs settle out of a bloo specimen with an anticoagulant, inc ESR=inflammation |
| exudates | a fluid that accumulates |
| fibrinogen | plasma protein that is formed into solid fibrin strands during clotting |
| fibroblast | a connective tissue cell |
| glucocorticoids | steroid hormones from the adrenal cortex, inc blood glucose levels to dec inflammation & allergic reaction |
| granulation tissue | newly developed fragile tissue, consisting of fibroblasts & blood vessels formed during healing |
| granuloma | a nodular destructive mass assoc with some chronic inflammation or infection. |
| hematocrit | percentage of RBC in blood sample |
| hematopoiesis | (blank) |
| hydrostatic pressure | pressure outside the cell, arterial pressure |
| hyperemia | increase blood flow in an area causing warmth and reddish |
| interferons | a group of antiviral glycoproteins produced by viral infected cells |
| intra-articular | into the joint cavity or joint space |
| iso-enzymes | cell enzymes, specific to certain organs, differ slightly in structure, similar functions |
| leukocytosis | above normal number of WBCs in the blood |
| macophage | a phagocytic cell |
| malaise | a feeling of discomfort or being unwell |
| neutrophil | WBC perform phagocytosis |
| osmotic pressure | pressure inside the capillary |
| perforation | a hole thro the wall of a tube or hollow structure |
| permeability | membrane permits certain substances to pass thro |
| phagocytosis | a cell that surround, ingest, and substances |
| purulent | pus, (microbes, WBCs, cell debris); thick yellowish material in tissue |
| pyrexia | fever |
| pyrogens | a substance that causes fever |
| regeneration | tissue repair, thro replacement by identical functioning cells, mytoesis |
| replacement | extensive tissue damage replaced by connective tissue (scar or fibrous tissue) |
| resolution | minimal tissue damage; cells recover, tissue return to normal |
| scar | connective tissue |
| serous | watery secretion |
| stenosis | narrowing of a tuve, value, or opening |
| ulcer | an open, crater like lesion on the skin or mucous membranes |
| vasodilation | enlargement of a blood vessel |
| RICE | rest, ice, compression, eleavation |
| healing by 1st intention | healing outside/in = injury, inflammmation, granulation & epithelial tissue growth, small scar |
| healing by 2nd intention | healing inside/out = injury,inflammmation, granulation & epithelial tissue growth, large scar |

| Full thickness burn | epidemis, dermis |
| perforation | erosion thro the wall |
| systemic effect inflammation | fever, malaise, fatigue, headache, anorexia |
| cellular response inflammation | chemotaxis, margination, emigration(diapedesis), phagocytosis, lysosomal enzymes |
| Vascular response inflammation | transient vasoconstriction, vasodilation, hyperemia, inc capillary permeability |
| cardinal signs inflammation | redness(vasodilation, heat(hyperemia, edema(IEF), pain(inc fluid pressure,irritation by chemical mediators) |
