Inflammation

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What is the purpose of inflammation   to localize, dilute, and/or destroy the causative agent and the injured tisue as well as repair damaged tissue  
🗑
what organ produces acute phase proteins   liver  
🗑
what are the classic signs of acute inflammation   calor, rubor, tumor, dalor and functiolaesa  
🗑
where does inflammatory vasodilation begin   arteriolar beds 1st  
🗑
three mechanisms of vascular leakage   1) endothelial contraction 2)direct endothelial injury 3) leukoce dependent endothelial damage  
🗑
Steps involved in the emigration of cells during inflammation   Normal, Vasoconstriction, Vasodilation, Margination, Adhesion, Migration, and Emigration  
🗑
What do Selectins do?   slow the movement of leukocytes along endothelium by brief Reversible adhesive interactions or "tethering"  
🗑
What does it mean to marginate   to move to a position close to the endothelium  
🗑
what is the most important selectin involved in rolling   P-selectin  
🗑
What products are responsible for slow rolling   E-selectin adn CD18  
🗑
What selectin is necessary for normal capture and initiation of rolling   L-selectin  
🗑
Where is L-selectin found   on lymphocytes and neutrophils  
🗑
Where is P-selectin found   Platelets and Endothelium  
🗑
Where are E-selectins found   on activated endotheilum, neutrophils, monocytes, and activated T-cells  
🗑
What molecules mediate adhesion   integrins  
🗑
What determines what cell types are present at the site of injury   The sequence or timing of selectin/integrin/immunoglobulin expression  
🗑
What is diapedesis   Passage through a blood vessel  
🗑
What cell type predominates in the first 24 hours of inflammation   Neutrophils  
🗑
what cell replaces neutrophils at 24-48 hours of inflammation   Monocytes  
🗑
What is chemotaxis   Locomotion of cells along a chemical gradient  
🗑
What are Toll-like receptors   part of the inate immune response that activate leukocyts in response to different microbial products  
🗑
what are chemotactic cytokines that regulate attraction of leukocytes to tissues   Chemokines  
🗑
What are the three steps of phagocytosis   1) recognition and attachment 2) Engulfment 3) killing  
🗑
what is opsinization   the process by which bacteria or foreign material is coated by plasma proteins (IgG or C3b usually)  
🗑
why opsinize?   it reduces electrostatic replusion and facilitates the recognition and attachment by phagocytic cells  
🗑
what are the two main categories of phagocytic killing or degradation   Oxygen dependent and independent  
🗑
What are the majorcells involved in chronic inflammation   monocytes/macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells  
🗑
When neutrophils fail to remove an offeding agent (indigestible particles or organisms) or when an agent is sequestered in macrophages what develops   Granulomas  
🗑
What are some classic examples of granulomatous inflammation   Tuberculosis, Sarcoid, and fungal infections  
🗑
Fever is mediated mainly by what endogenous pyrogens   IL-1 and TNF-alpha which lead to IL-6 production  
🗑
Overproduction of what cytokine can produce shock and cachexia   TNF-alpha  
🗑
What cytokines accelerate PMN release from the bone marrow   IL-1 and TNF-alpha  
🗑
What cytokine induces Eosinophilia   IL-5  
🗑
Acute phase reaction is mediated mainly by IL-?   6  
🗑
A blister is an example of ? inflammation   serous  
🗑
inflammation of mucous membranes is also known as ?   catarrhal inflammation  
🗑
exudate of mucous, fibrin, inflammatory cells and necrotic debris is an example of ? type of inflammation   pseudomembranous inflammation  
🗑
What are two examples of vasoactive amines released from mast cells, basophils and platelets   Histamine and Serotonin  
🗑
Two common metabolites of arachidonic acid are?   prostaglandin and leukotrienes (also known as eicosanoids)  
🗑
What does NO released from endothelium and macrophages do?   vasodilate, Bacteriocidal, regulator of leukocyte recruitment  
🗑
What complement system involves spontaneous hydrolyzation of C3 to a modified convertase which in a series of steps involving properdin forms a C5 convertase   alternative pathway  
🗑
where do the two complement pathways converge   C5a and C5b  
🗑
what is the third "pathway" in the complement system   Mannose binding lectin pathway  
🗑
what forms the Membrane attack complex   C5b-9  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
