49
Q

dolor - pain

50
Q

non-specific response to damage or invaders is termed

A

inflammatory response
-or-
innate immune response

51
Q

A

innate immune response

52
Q

what is another term for innate immune response

A

inflammatory response

53
Q

how specific is the inflammatory response

A

non-specific

54
Q

2 components of inflammatory response are:

A

vascular response

cellular response

55
Q

vascular inflammatory response in 3 steps

A
  • cytokines cause vasodilation of arterioles in area to increase blood flow (calor, rubor)
  • cytokines increase permeability of blood vessels by disrupting intercellular linkages (tumor - edema)
  • this slows the blood and allows RBCs and WBCs to contact the endothelium
56
Q

where do neutrophils usually reside?

A

in the blood, unless called into connective tissue

57
Q

T/F neutrophil nuclei are lobed

A

true - 2-5 lobes

58
Q

how many lobes are there in a neutrophil nucleus?

A

2-5

59
Q

what are the 3 classes of neutrophil granules and what are their respective functions?

A

primary (philic) - lysosomes
secondary (specific) - antimicrobial
tertiary - gelatinase/cathepsin/collagenase (proteases)

60
Q

why are neutrophil nuclei likely lobed?

A

to squeeze through endothelial spaces in diapedesis

61
Q

name 5 steps of the cellular inflammatory response

A
  • margination and binding
  • diapedesis
  • neutrophilic wave
  • monocytic wave
  • recovery
62
Q

including 3 vascular and 5 cellular steps, describe the inflammatory response in 8 steps

A

-vasodilation
-edema
-slowing of blood flow
-margination and binding
-diapedesis
neutrophilic wave
-monocytic wave
-recover

63
Q

once the vascular inflammatory response allows blood flow to slow in the inflamed area, what is the first step of the cellular inflammatory response?

A

margination and binding

  • neutrophils pushed to side (marginated) by slowing of blood
  • endothelial cells express selectin receptors in response to cytokines
  • neutrophil selectins bind to endothelial selectin receptors, which slows and stops neutrophil
  • neutrophil binds to integrin receptors
64
Q

in the cellular inflammatory response, selectins…

A

expressed on neutrophils bind selectin receptors in endothelium to slow and stop the neutrophil flowing past in blood, so it can bind integrin receptors and undergo diapedesis

65
Q

in the cellular inflammatory response, integrins…

A

expressed on neutrophils bind integrin receptors in endothelium to undergo diapedesis (after selectin receptors have stopped the neutrophil)

66
Q

after margination and binding, what is the next step in the cellular inflammatory response?

A

diapedesis

  • neutrophils squeeze through basal lamina
  • migrate to source of cytokines
  • secrete tertiary granule contents (cathepsins, gelatinases, collagenases) to get past barriers present in ground substance
67
Q

which granule contents do migrating neutrophils secrete in order to get past barriers present in ground substance?

A

tertiary - cathepsins, gelatinases, collagenases

primary is lysosomal, secondary is antimicrobial

68
Q

what happens when neutrophil reaches source of cytokines?

A

attacks pathogen with respiratory blast

release lysosomal and antimicrobial contents of primary (philic) and secondary (specific) granules i believe…

69
Q

after 1st wave neutrophil response, what does the second wave of the cellular inflammatory response consist of?

A

monocytes enter tissue and transform into macrophages

70
Q

which leukocytes are considered “fast-acting” in the cellular inflammatory response?

A

neutrophils

  • invade quickly and reach peak concentration after ~24 hours
  • 1 shot and dead when lysosome expended
71
Q

how long does it take neutrophils to reach peak concentration during the cellular inflammatory response?

A

~24 hours

72
Q

how long does it take macrophages to reach peak concentration during the cellular inflammatory response?

A

~36-48 hours

73
Q

when do monocytes transform into macrophages?

A

when they reach the pathogen or source of the cytokines

74
Q

which leukocyte is 1-shot and dead in the cellular inflammatory response?

A

neutrophil
dead when lysosome expended
(pus = dead neutrophils)

75
Q

what is largely the content of pus?

A

dead neutrophils

76
Q

how long do macrophages hang around?

A

a long time

not 1 and done like neutrophils

77
Q

what is the recovery process from inflammation?

A
  • cytokines dissipate (invader neutralized so no longer activating macrophage)
  • permeability of blood vessels return to normal
  • macrophage ingests extracellular fragments, dead neutrophils
  • excess tissue fluid and macrophages enter lymph system
78
Q

what is the source of cytokines that initiates the inflammatory response?

A

macrophage (in response to an invader)

79
Q

when does the cytokine release instigating an inflammatory response cease?

A

when the invader is neutralized and no longer activating macrophages to release cytokines

80
Q

what causes vasodilation during the inflammatory response?

A

cytokines released by macrophage at site of invader
