| Three main causes of cell injury? | Trauma, Intoxication, Deficiency |
| Signs and Symptoms associated with inflammation? | Redness, Swelling, Pain, Heat |
| What causes the signs and symptoms of inflammation? | Presence of exudate |
| Chemical mediators in the inflammatory response | Prostoglandins, Histamine, Bradykinin |
| Inflammation helps tissues heal by... | Removing damaged tissue and using materials in exudate for repair |
| Process of Inflammation | Vasodilation of capillaries, WBC's move to walls of capillaries by diapadesis, WBC's change shape and move into the exudate outside capillaries, WBC's move to injury site and begin phagocytosis. |
| Explain Immunodeficiency | weakening of the immune system |

| 3 body fluids that HIV can spread through | Blood, Breast Milk, Reproductive secretions |
| Explain HIV infection and selection | HIV transmission occurs, Binds to CD4 receptors on cells, Fuses to host cell and mixes contents, Reverse transcriptase uses virus RNA to make DNA, Host cell makes and assembles virus parts with Protease, Releases through budding or lysis |
| Prodromal Stage HIV/AIDS | Commmon illness symptoms appear |
| Asymptomatic Stage HIV/AIDS | Virus is detectable in blood, and antibody tests |
| AIDS Stage | Complications occur due to weakened immune system |
| Explain local allergic response | Expose leads to IGE production, foreign substances become allergens. Allergens bind to cells releasing histamine. Histamine binds to receptors causing signs/symptoms. |
| SLE stands for... | Systemic Lupus Erythematosus |
| Signs and Symptoms of SLE | Butterfly rash, Inflammation of membranes, Photosensitivity |
| LE cells | A cell that has engulfed another cells material |
