Chapter 26 Clinical Pathophysiology Flashcards
(124 cards)
- reaction of vascularized tissue in the body to local injury or insult.
- Protective attempt to remove harmful stimuli
Inflammation
Chemical irritants or toxins
Mechanical or physical trauma
Altered or damaged cells
Microorganisms
Causes of inflammation
Redness
Fever
Swelling
Signs and symptoms of ACUTE INFLAMMATION
long-term damage
as in Cancer and lung disease
Signs and symptoms of CHRONIC INFLAMMATION
Vascular and Cellular
Components of inflammatory response
component of inflammatory response that causes
Dilation of the microvasculature
allowing increased permeability of macromolecules into the tissue space
may cause EDEMA
VASCULAR component
component of inflammatory response that causes
MARGINATION
CELLULAR component
Leukocytes relocate to the endothelium wall
Margination
white blood cells
Leukocytes
mast cells-release produces vasodilation/increased permeability
Histamine
- inactive form in plasma
- activation leads to different inflammatory cascades
Factor XII(Hageman factor)
cascade that causes THROMBIN FORMATION-FIBRINOGEN TO FIBRIN
coagulation cascade
peptide=VASCULAR DILATION/INCREASED PERMEABILITY
BRADYKININ
cascade that causes BRADYKININ production
Kinin cascade
cascade that causes PLASMIN production
Fibrinolytic cascade
cascade that causes
MEMBRANE ATTACK/inflammatory mediators=chemotaxis,phagocytosis, histamine release
complement cascade
fatty acid-precursor to COX and LOX
Arachidonic acid
pathway that
Prostaglandins and thromboxanes
Cyclooxygenase pathway
COX pathway
pathway that produces
LEUKOTRIENES
Lipoxygenase pathway
LOX pathway
COX product that promotes
VASODILATION/INCREASED PERMEABILITY
Prostaglandin
COX product that promotes PLATELET AGGREGATION(repair)
Thromboxanes
LOX product that promotes
CHEMOTAXIS-VASODILATION-INCRESED PERMEABILITY
Leukotrienes
fluid in interstitial spaces
Edema
composes 50-60% body weight
