Cards

Term
From what types of cells is Histamine released?
Definition
Histamine is released from mast cells, basophils, and platelets.
Term
__________________ causes arteriolar dilation and increased vascular permeability
Definition
Histamine 
Term
What is the main role of prostaglandins in inflammation?
Definition
Prostaglandins cause pain.
Term
What does NSAID stand for?
Definition
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
Term
What is the result of COX-2 inhibitors?
Definition
Relief from pain and inflamation
Term
What occurs during chemotaxis?
Definition
During chemotaxis, WBC move toward the site of injury following along a chemical gradient
Term

What three key plasma protein systems mediate inflammation? 

 

*CCS

Definition

-Complement system

 

-Clotting system

 

-Kinin system

Term
Which plasma protein system consists of at least 30 proteins which act on each other in a cascade?
Definition
The complement system
Term

The following are examples of what? 

-opsonizing bacteria

-attracting WBC via chemotaxis

-degranulation of mast cells

-C6-C9 create pores in bacterial membranes

Definition
Examples of complement enhancers for inflammation
Term
How does The Clotting System work?
Definition
it forms a fibrinous meshwork at site of inflammation trapping exudates, bacteria, ect.
Term

Which of the following are functions of the Clotting System? 

  • prevention of spread to adjacent healthy tissue
  • keeps pathogens at site of largest phagocytic activity
  • forms clot to stop bleeding and begin repain
  • all of the above
  • none of the above
Definition

ALL OF THE ABOVE.

The clotting system prevents spread to adjacent healthy tissue, keeps pathogens at site of largest phagocytic activity, forms clots to stop bleeding and begin repair. 

Term
_________ converts fibrinogen to fibrin
Definition
Thrombin converts fibrinogen to fibrin
Term
Activation of the kinin system leads to formation of ___________.
Definition
activation of the kinin system leads to formation of Bradykinin
Term
Name five functions of Bradykinin, which is similar to histamine but works at a slower pace.
Definition
  1. increased vascular permeability
  2. vasodilation
  3. pain
  4. may increase WBC chemotaxis
  5. probably causes endothelial cell retraction
Term

Fill in the steps: Phagocytosis

1. ________a_________

-opsonization by antibodies or complement

2. _______b__________

- psudeopods extend around the pathogen and surround it (forms phagosome)

3.fusion of ____c___ with __d______

4. destruction of __e____ by lysosomal ___f___

Definition

a) Adherence to antigen

b) engulfment

c) lysosomes d) phagosome

e) target  f) enzymes

Term

Which of the following are possible outcomes of acute inflammation? 

a. complete resolution

b. scarring or fibrosis

c. infection

d. abscess formation

e. progression to chronic inflammation

Definition

A, B, D, and E are possible outcomes. 

Complete resolution

Scarring or fibrosis

abscess formation

chronic inflammation

Term
During what process is injured tissue replaced by cells of the same type and original structure and function resume?
Definition
Resolution- makes the injury site "good as new"
Term
Explain the features of Repair, the "second best" type of wound healing.
Definition
features of repair:
-destroyed tissue replaced by connective tissue
-fills in the lesion and restores strength but LACKS physiologic functions of the destroyed tissue.
Term
When does resolution and repair begin?
Definition
resolution and repair begin early in the inflammatory process.
Term
Name the three subcatagories of cell regenerative capacities.
Definition

1. Continuously Dividing Cells

2. Quiescent (Stable) Cells

3. Nondividing (Permanent) Cells

Term

_____ dividing cells proliferate throughout life

 

Definition
Continuously dividing cells proliferate throughout life
Term
____ or _____ cells have a low level of replication, and stimulation can lead to rapid increases in division.
Definition
Quiescent or Stable cells have low levels replication and stimulation can lead to rapid increases in division
Term
_______ or ______ cells stopped dividing during prenatal life
Definition
Nondividing or Permanent cells stopped dividing during prenatal life
Term

Regenerative Capacity

______: nerve cells, cardiac m., skeletal m.

_____: skin, oral cavity, GI tract lining, urinary tract, bone marrow

______: bone, kidney, pancreas, fibroblasts, liver

Definition

Permanent (nondividing): nerve cells, cardiac, skeletal

Labil (continuous): skin, oral cavity, GI tract lining, urinary tract, bone marrow

Quiescent (stable): bone, kidney, pancreas, fibroblasts, liver

 

Term

   ____________:

provide multiple copies of genes to speed up production of enzymes and structural proteins                                    

Definition
Multinucleated
Term

These are embryonic cells which fuse to create the muscle fibers.

Name the cell.

Definition
Myoblasts: embryonic; create muscle fibers
Term
What is the function of satellite cells?
Definition
Satellite cells assist with repair of damaged fibers
Term
Name two factors which influence wound healing, explain.
Definition

1. Age : older patients vs. younger; older wound vs. newer

 

2. site of wound : skin vs. bone, ect.

Term
What are tension lines and what decides orientation?
Definition
Tension lines are made from collagen and elastin fibers in parellel bundles. Orientation is decided by normal stress
Term

True or False.

Debridement is not essential to would healing

Definition
False!! Debridement is essential to would healing.
Term
What occurs during debridement?
Definition
debridement is "clean-up" of particulate matter
Term

Which of the following are part of the First Intention of healing?

a. formation of grandulation tissue

b. wounds with minimal tissue loss

c. an example is a degloved injury

d. an example is a sutured surgical wound

e. two of the above

Definition

e. two of the above.

B. wounds with minimal tissue loss

D. an example is a sutured surgical wound

Term
What are the features of second intention wound healing?
Definition

1. large open defects and infected wounds

2. ex. degloved injuries, burn

3. formation of granulation tissue

Term
What level of wound healing is a skin graft?
Definition
Skin graft is a third intention
Term
Epithelialization and contraction occur in second intention healing. Explain both terms.
Definition

Epithelialization: Covering/sealing. epithelial cells migrate into the wound. proteolytic enzymes involved.

 

Contraction: shrinking wound. myofibroblasts establish connections and anchor themselves pulling on neighboring cells. may move wound edge by .5mm/day

Term
What two types of cells does granulation tissue contain?
Definition
angioblasts and fibroblasts.
Term

What are the two phases of repair?

 

Definition

Two phases of repair:

-Reconstruction phase

-Maturation phase
