Pathophysiology Final Exam

QuestionAnswer
What are the signs and symptoms of Inflammation? Ruber (red) Tumor (swollen) Calor (warm) Dolar (pain)
What is the acute local inflammatory response? Part 1 1) Chemicals released such as prosteglandins, leukotrienes, kinins, opson, and histamine . 2) Stimulate pain receptors by leukocytosis
What is the acute local inflammatory response? Part 2 3) Increase in blood flow and stretch capillaries and dilation of arterioles which results in local edema and WBC’s (neutrophils) flow through capillaries. 4) Neutrophils are trapped in capillaries by the binding of selectin and integrin
What is the acute local inflammatory response? Part 3 5) Neutrophils move towards the walls of the capillaries and flatten. Margination – moving to walls and Pavementing – flatten 6) Neutrophils move from the blood to the exudates (diapedisis)
What is the acute local inflammatory response? Final Part 4 7) Neutrophils are attracted to the site of injury through chemotaxis 8) Activation of phagocytosis (opsonization)
What are the functions of the inflammatory response? Pain makes it easier to repair because of less usage. Leukocytosis helps with the infection. Local edema carries material away from site of injury. Phagocytosis helps with demolition
