Question
Answer
What is the early warning system of infection?   inflammation- redness, swelling, fever, pain.  
🗑
What are the mediators of acute inflammation   mast cells and basophils  
🗑
histamine is released from mast cells   increases permeability of capillaries  
🗑
capillaries become leaky causing   accumulation of complement, enzymes and phagocytes at sites of infection.  
🗑
Pathogens are eliminated and healing is initiated   via phagocytosis, etc  
🗑
Complement components is activated and induce   acute inflammation  
🗑
Complement C system triggers   histamine release from mast cells, increases vascular permeability and induces chemotaxis which triggers phagocytes towards sites of infection.  
🗑
macrophages, neutrophils & eosinophils are now known as   mediators of acute inflammation.  
🗑
Macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils secrete   chemicals that are proinflammatory cytokines triggering increased vascular permeability to maintain acute inflammation.  
🗑
phagocytosis process begins where   macrophages, dendritic cells, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)  
🗑
Phagocytosis engulfs   and destroys particles that don't belong in the area.  
🗑
phagocytosis: adhesion   attachment or binding of phagocyte and pathogen using noncovalent interactions.  
🗑
Phagocytosis: oponization   enhancement of phagocytosis due to better binding medated by complement or antibody receptors on the phagocytes surfaces.  
🗑
ingestion (engulfment) cells take in via   pseudopodia and phagosomes  
🗑
pseudopodia   surround the pathogen, then fuse to form a vacuole called a phagosome  
🗑
Phagosomes are converted into phagolysosomes by   fusion with lysosomes (vacuoles containing a broad spectrum of digestive enzymes) and then break down.  
🗑
Ingestion of bacterium happen via phagosomes as they are converted to   phagolysosomes that contain digestive enzymes that help with breakdown of bacteria.  
🗑


   

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.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
