QuestionAnswer
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

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)
assessment of burn rule of 9 arm=9ea, leg=9ea, total head=9,truck(f)=18, truck(B)=18, erineum=1
B cells produce antibodies
T cellls cell mediated immune response
monocytes, macrophages, neutrophil phagocytosis cells
eosinophils inc allergic response
basiphils release histamine
chemical mediators histamine, kinins, prostaglandins
acute infection diredt damage, immediate onset, short, neutrophils,macrophages, heal
