Cards

Term
What are the natural protective systems of the body?
Definition
skin, tears, saliva, sweat, stomach acid, coughing, sneezing
Term
What is the vascular response to inflammatory?
Definition
vasoconstriction
Term
What is the vascular response to injured cells?
Definition
The injured cells release histamine causing vasodilation (hyperemia, redness, heat) increasing filtration pressure (capillary permeability).
Term
When edema with serous fluid (swelling, pain) is a defense response, what is it actually doing?

leaves the blood, fibrin clot which traps bacteria.
