Acute and Chronic Inflammation Flashcards
(35 cards)
Inflammation
Protective response of living tissues to any form of damage.
Two functions of inflammation
Remove pathogenic insults
Remove damaged tissue components
Classification
Acute
Chronic
Inflammation is a component of adaptive system.T/F
False- it is innate
Stages of acute inflammation
Initiation
Amplification of response
Destruction of offending agents
Termination
Phases of acute inflammation
Vascular
Cellular
Chronic inflammation o cuts of acute doesn’t succeed. T/F
True
PAMP
DAMP
What do they do
Pathogen Associated Microbial Pattern
Danger(Damage) Associated Microbial Pattern
They are recognized by pattern recognition receptors(PRR) and cause the gene activation of chemical mediators that cause inflammation
Examples of PRR(Pattern recognition receptors)
Toll-like receptors
NOD(Nucleotide Oligomerization Domain)
C-type lectin receptors
Cytoplasmic caspases
During the initation process, there is a transient vasoconstriction proceed by vasodilation
True
What causes
Rubor - redness
Calor- increased temperature
Increased blood flow to area
What causes tumour
Vascular endothelial cell retraction with exudates and leucocytes
What amplifies the process of initiation
Chemical mediators produced by the leucocytes
What causes
dolor - pain
and
function Lasae- Loss of function
Chemical mediators stimulating nerve endings
Initiator of acute inflammation
Sentinel cells(macrophages)
Where are the chemical mediators like(cytokines) produced from
What stimulates them
Sentinel leukocytes
What stimulates the sentinel leucocytes to initiate the process
Pattern recognition receptors
Inflammatory cells of acute inflammation
PMNs(Neutrophils)
Platelets
Mast cells
Inflammatory cells of chronic inflammation
Macrophages
Lymphocytes
Plasma cells
What is a strong initiator of acute inflammation
Interleukins-1(cytokine)
What are the two important functions of mediators
Recruitment of leukocytes through(chemotactic factors such as cytokines(chemokines)
Vasodilation and vascular endothelial retraction through(vasoactive mediators)- Histamine, NO, serotonin
Growth factors are produced by what to cause repairs
Macrophages
What is resolution
Termination of inflammatory response, after the offending agent has been removed with the process of repair continued
Resolution involves what process
Gene silencing
Reprogramming
