Term
__________: The body response to injury- ischemic, infectious, immunologic, neoplastic, etc (not synonymous with infection)
Eliminate the cause of the injury and initiates the repair and healing
Definition
Inflammation
Term
Acute Inflammatory Reactions Are triggered by a variety of stimuli:
___(bacterial, viral, parasitic) & microbial toxins
___(blunt and penetrating)
___ & ___ agents (thermal injury, e.g., burns or frostbite; irradiation; some environmental chemicals)
Tissue ___(from any cause)
___ (splinters, dirt, sutures)
___ reactions (also called hypersensitivity reactions)
Definition
Infections
Trauma
Physical and chemical
necrosis
Foreign bodies
Immune
Term
____ inflammation is usually at the onset of injury such as an infection, necrosis, etc
Definition
Acute
Term
____ inflammtion is non-healing acute inflammation
Ex. Wound that doesn’t heal initially & gets worse
Definition
Chronic
Term
Chronic inflammation is triggered by a variety of stimuli: (3)
Definition
1.) bacteria or any microorganisms that cannot be eliminated (Tb, Fungi, etc)
2.) Foreign material or inorganic material (suture)
3.) Immune reactions
Term
Acute Inflammation is the Initial response to tissue injury resulting in the production of inflammatory mediators which affect blood vessels (_____) and attract inflammatory cells (______).
- Accumulation of ____
- Accumulation of ____ blood cells
Limited duration: hours, days
Definition
vasoactive
chemotactic
fluid
white
Term
Three major components of Acute Inflammation:
(1) alterations in vascular caliber that lead to an increase in blood flow (____) -> brings inflammatory cells
(2) structural changes in the microvasculature that permit ____ ____ & _____ to leave the circulation; (edema with swelling)
(3) emigration of the leukocytes from the microcirculation, their accumulation in the focus of injury, and their activation to eliminate the offending agent- major leukocytes leaving at this time are ____ = acute leukocytes
Definition
erythema
plasma proteins and leukocytes
neutrophils
Term
Acute Inflammation-Vascular Events:
Vasoactive mediators (____) at the site
of injury:
Redness (____) due to increased blood flow to the area (___)
Swelling (___) due to increased vessel wall permeability allowing of plasma protein into the perivascular space (___)
Definition
histamine
rubor
vasodilation
tumor
edema
Term
Signs of Inflammation: (4)
Definition
Calor = heat
dolor = pain
rubor = redness
tumor = swelling
