Question
Answer
exposure to toxic agents - exogenous   silica (silicosis)  
🗑
exposure to toxic agents - endogenous   toxic plasma lipid components (atherosclerosis)  
🗑
autoimmunity   rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus, erythematosus  
🗑
histological features of chronic inflammation   infiltration, tissue destruction, healing  
🗑
infiltration with mononuclear cells in chronic inflammation   macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells  
🗑
tissue destruction in chronic inflammation   induced by the inflammatory cells  
🗑
How does healing occur in chronic inflammation?   fibrosis and angiogenesis  
🗑
Fibrosis   replacement of damaged tissue by connective tissue  
🗑
Angiogenesis   new blood vessel formation  
🗑
Monocytes emigrate into tissue early in inflammation and transofrm into what cell?   macrophage - a larger phagocytic cell  
🗑
When do macrophages predominate in chronic inflammation?   48 hours - recruitment, division, immobilization  
🗑
What does the activation of macrophages result in?   secretion of biologically active products  
🗑
When do monocytes begin to emigrate into tissues?   early in inflammation where they transform into the larger phagocytic cell known as the macrophage  
🗑
What do lymphocytes produce in chronic inflammation?   inflammatory mediators  
🗑
What do lymphocytes participate in in chronic inflammation?   cell-mediated immune reactions  
🗑
What do lymphocyte plasma cells produce in chronic inflammation?   antibody  
🗑
How do lymphocytes and macrophages interact in chronic inflammation?   a bi-directional fashioni  
🗑
What are eosinophils involved in?   immune reactions mediated by IgE, parasitic infections (contain protein toxic to parasites)  
🗑
How do eosinophils fight against parasitic infections?   eosinophil granules contain a protein that is toxic to parasites  
🗑
Mast Cells   release mediators (histamine) and cytokines  
🗑
granulomatous inflammation pattern of inflammation   predominant cell type is an activated macrophage with a modified epithelial-like appearance. Giant cells may or may not be present  
🗑
granuloma   focal area of granulomatous inflammation  
🗑
foreign body granulomas   form when foreign material is too large to be engulfed by a single macrophage  
🗑
immune granulomas   insoluble or poorly soluble particles elicit a cell-mediated immune response  
🗑
sarcoidosis   poorly soluble antigen-antibody complexes  
🗑
How is liver involved in inflammation?   secretion of acute phase proteins  
🗑
What glucocorticoid response occurs in inflammation?   increased production (stress response)  
🗑
What happens to vasopressin in inflammation?   decreased secretion leading to reduced volume of body fluid to be warmed  
🗑
What does fever do in inflammation?   improves efficiency of leukocyte killing, impairs replication of many offending organisms  
🗑
What autonomic responses occur in inflammation?   redirection of blood flow to minimize heat loss, increase pulse, bp, decreased sweating  
🗑
What behavioral responses occur in inflammation?   shivering, chills, anorexia, somnolence, malaise  
🗑
leukocytosis   increased leukocyte count in the blood  
🗑
neutrophilia occurs in what cases?   bacterial infections  
🗑
lymphocytosis occurs in what cases?   infections mono, mumps, measles  
🗑
eosinophilia occurs in what cases?   parasites, asthma, hay fever  
🗑
leukopenia   reduced leukocyte count, in typhoid fever, some viruses, rickettsiae, protozoa  
🗑
What are prediosposing factors for orbital mucormycosis?   diabetic ketoacidosis, leukemia  
🗑
Where may chemical mediators of inflammation be derived from?   plasma or cells  
🗑
Where do chemical mediators of inflammation bind?   to specific receptors on target cells  
🗑
What do chemical mediators of inflammation cause in target cells?   release of mediators, which may amplify or ameliorate inflam. Response  
🗑
How many cells do chemical mediators of inflammation work on?   one or a few, have widespread targets and may have differing effects depending on cell and tissue types  
🗑
How long is the response of chemical mediators of inflammation?   usually short lived  
🗑
What do chemical mediators of inflammation have the potential to cause?   harmful effects  
🗑
Review vasoactive vs. chemotactic mediators   slide #62  
🗑
Histamine   released from mast cells (also basophils and platelets)  
🗑
What does binding of antigen (allergen) to IgE on mast cells cause?   release of histamine contained granules  
🗑
What other mechanisms cause release of histamine?   nonimmune mechanisms (cold, trauma), release by other mediators  
🗑
What does histamine do?   dilates arterioles and increases permeability of venules (wheal and flare reaction)  
🗑
Bradykinin   small peptide release from plasma precursors  
🗑
What does bradykinin do?   increases vascular permeability, dilates blood vessels, causes pain, rapid activation  
🗑
