as long as a few days). 3.Fluid and plasma protein
exudation. 4.Neutrophilic leukocyte
accumulation.

Question 5

1.Insidious onset. 2.longer duration (days to years). 3.Influx of lymphocytes and
macrophages. 4.Vascular proliferation and
fibrosis (scarring).

Question 6

Acute inflammation

Causes ?

Answer 6

1.Infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic) 2.Trauma. 3.physical and chemical agents . 4.Tissue necrosis. 5.Foreign bodies. 6.Immune reactions.

Question 7

Acute inflammation has two major components ?

Answer 7

1. Vascular changes

2. Cellular events

Question 8

Vascular Changes in acute inflammation in general ?

Answer 8

1.Transient vasoconstriction (lasting only for seconds)
2.Vasodilation
3. Increase vascular permeability leading to fluid leak and
formation of exudates
4. Arteriolar vasodilation occurs, resulting in locally increased blood
flow
5. redness (erythema) and warmth
6. blood to become more concentrated,
7. increasing blood viscosity
8. slowing the circulation. (stasis).
9. stasis develops, leukocytes (principally neutrophils) begin to
accumulate along the vascular endothelial surface—a process
called margination.

Question 9

painful

enlargement of the draining lymph nodes is named ?

Answer 9

lymphadenitis

Question 10

Cellular Events in acute inflammation : Main cells are ?

Answer 10

Question 16

mediates the binding events needed for leukocytes to cross the
endothelium.
?

Answer 16

Question 17

After passing through the endothelium, leukocytes secret
??? that enable them to pass through the vascular
basement membrane

Answer 17

collagenases

Question 18

Phagocytosis consists of three steps:

Answer 18

1) Recognition of the particle to the ingesting leukocyte (2) Engulfment and formation of a phagocytic vacuole (3) killing and degradation of the ingested material
