Question
Answer
one of the primary processes by which the body repairs tissue damage and combats infection   inflammation  
🗑
five cardinal signs of inflammation   redness, pain, heat, swelling, loss of function  
🗑
major events of inflammation   increased blood supply, increased vascular permeability, neutrophil infiltration, lymphocyte and macrophage infiltration, restoration of normal function or fibrous scarring  
🗑
this inflammatory mediator activates fever and endothelium   IL1  
🗑
this inflammatory mediator is a potent vasodilator and increases mucus   histamine  
🗑
this chemical mediator is a vasodilator and increases permeability   prostaglandins  
🗑
this chemical mediator increases mucus and bronchochonstriction   leukotrienes  
🗑
this chemical mediator activates macrophages and NK cells   interferon gamma  
🗑
this chemical mediator attracts cells to the site   chmokine  
🗑
this chemical medator caues chemotaxis and activates PMN   platelet activating factor (PAF)  
🗑
this chemical mediator increases CAM, fever, and cytokines   TNF  
🗑
this chemical mediator causes cell movement, damage, and repair of tissue   enzymatic mediators  
🗑
these facilitate cell to cell and cell to matrix interactions, including the necessary interactions between leukocytes and endothelial cells that allow these cells to infiltrate the tissues during inflammation.   Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)  
🗑
these consist of proteins and glycoproteins, grouped into families iwth similar strucutres, important in cell trafficking and migration, and crutial to the development of inflammation   cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)  
🗑
these CAMs bind carbohydrates: they are found on leukocytes, and activated endothelium   selectins. types include L-selectins, P-selectin, E-selectin  
🗑
these CAMs bind to selectins. they are found on HEV, mucosal lymphoid tissue venules, and endothelium   vascular addressins. one ex is CD34  
🗑
these CAMs bind to ICAMs and extracellular matrix: they are found on lymphocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells   integrins. examples are LFA-1, CR3  
🗑
these CAMs bind integrins: found on T-cells, APC, activated endothelium   immunoglobulin superfamily: example is CD2  
🗑
these recognize common molecular patterns. they are encoded in germ line genes, found on many cell types, and recognition is important to the adaptive immune response   pattern recognition receptors (PRR) ex: "toll like receptors" TLL  
🗑
a process of engulfing particles. primary phagocytic cells are the neutrophils, macrophages, and some dendritic cells. There is intracellular killing via oxygen dependent and independent mechanisms   phagocytosis  
🗑
when a phagocyte engulfs an pathogen, the layer that forms around the pathogen is called this   phagosome  
🗑
during phagocytosis, when the phagosome is surrounded by granules, it forms this structure   phagolysosome  
🗑
this is a substance that enhances phagocytosis and consists of acute phase proteins, complement proteins, and antibodies   opsonins  
🗑
some examples of acute phase proteins (opsonins) are:   C reactive protein: CRP, mannose binding lectin: MBL, fibrinogin, serum amyloid proteins: SAA, complement system proteins  
🗑
what are types of cytokines   type I (Interferon alpha and beta) and type II interferons (interferon gamma)  
🗑
the primary role of this interferon is mostly to produce an anti-viral effect   type 1 interferons: alpha and beta  
🗑
the primary role of this interferon is mostly to activate macrophages   type II interferons: interferon gamma  
🗑
what are circulating inflammatory cells?   neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, platelets (never let monkeys eat bananna peels)  
🗑
what are tissue resident inflammatory cells?   mast cells and macrophages  
🗑
what are some killing mechanisms to eradicate pathogens?   acidification, toxic oxygen derived products, toxic nitrogen oxides, antimicrobial peptides, enzymes, competitors  
🗑
this is a type of inflammatory cell that contains cytoplasmic granules which contain histamine. they synthesize many other inflammatory mediators   mast cell  
🗑
this is a group of blood and cell surface proteins that are important to inflammatory and immune respponses.   complement proteins  
🗑
what are some major biologic roles for complement?   to label microbial pathogens for destruction (opsonize), to disrupt the membranes of microbial pathogens leading to their lysis, and recruit inflammatory cells  
🗑
which complement protein is found in the highest concentration?   C3  
🗑
what are the three pathways of complement in order of which they are activated/   alternative pathway, lectin pathway, classical pathway  
🗑
all pathways of complement meet here to start the common pathway   the cleavage of C3 into C3a and C3b  
🗑
what is the membrane attack complex made up of?   C5bC6C7C9(C9)n  
🗑
which complement proteins are naaphylatoxins?   C3a, C5a  
🗑
which complement proteins are considered chemotactic factors?   C5a,  
🗑
which complement protein is considered opsonins?   C3b  
🗑
what are some regulators of complement activation?   requirements for activation, generation and inactivation of C3b, complement receptors on cells, C1 inhibitor, decay accelerating factor, CD59  
🗑
which components inhibit complement?   C1INH, DAF, CD59  
🗑
what are some autoimmune diseases due to immunopathology of complement?   glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, intravascular hemolysis  
🗑
what are some laboratory measures that can be taken of complement?   quantitation of complement proteins, measure of complement activity  
🗑
this is inflammation of prolonged duration (weeks to months) in which inflammation, tissue in jury, and attempts at repair coexist in varying combinations. characterized by mononuclear cell infiltration, tissue destruciton, and attempts at healingbyfibros   chronic inflammation  
🗑
this is a distinctive pattern of chronic inflammation seen in a limited number of infections. it's considered a type 4 hypersensitivity and consists of activated acrophages, derivative cells, Tcells, fibroblasts   granulomatous inflammaiton  
🗑
tissue granuloma is involved in these types of diseases:   tuberculosis, leprosy, leishmaniasis  
🗑
