Cards

Term
Acute Inflammation
Definition

-rapid response of blood and local tissues to remove injurious agent (microbes, foreign substances and abnormal cells)

-limits tissue damage

-involves exudate of fluid/plasma components

Term
Inflammation
Definition

protective response to injury and infction

 

 -can cause bystander damage to normal cell tissue

Term
acute inflmtn stages
Definition

vascular stage

 

 

cellular stage

Term
Cause smooth muscle relaxation and vessel dilation to inc blood flow in vascular stage (2)
Definition

NO

 

Histamine

Term
histamine leukotrienes n brdykinins cause endothelial
Definition
cell retraction to inc gaps of venules to allow the outflow of fluid and serumproteins to action site
Term
stimulation of exposed nerve endings by ________ and ___________ cause pain
Definition
histamine and bradykinins
Term
acute phase response
Definition

-release cytokines IL-6,IL-1b,TNFa

-inc liver prod. of fibrinigen,C-reactive protein[CRP], and serum amyloid protein(SAA)

Term

CRP binds to...

 

SAAs displace .....

 

Fibrinogen converted to fibrin by....

Definition

-C-polypeptide of pneumococci to tag for phagocytosis

 

 

 

-Apolipoprotein A in HDL to facilitate transfer of HDL from liver to macrophages for energy

 

-Thrombus for clot formation

Term
Fever generation[protective response]
Definition

cytokines(IL-6,IL-1,TNFa) from activated immune cells induce PGE2 release 

 

-PGE2 acts on PGE receptor 3 in hypothalamus to inc heat generation>>>>>inc muscle tone & shivering and dec heat loss through vasoconstriction

Term

chronic inflmtn response....

 

key cell mediators...

 

repaired by....

Definition

-response....slow[weeks to years]

 

-key cell mediators...monocyte/macrophage,lymphocyte,plasma cells,fibroblasts

 

-repaired by....fibrosis & angiogenesis, may cause permanant func loss
