inflammation repair Flashcards
(132 cards)
what is inflammation
heal wounds and chronic conditions
define inflammation as it pertains to the immune system
the immune systems response to stimulus
when a wound swells up, turns red and hurts
when does inflammation happen?
inflammation happens when the immune system fights against something the may turn out to be harmful
how does the body use inflammation to protect the body?
protective response to cell injury and cell death
facilitates tissue repair
controlled inflammation
uncontrolled inflammation
what are responses from tissue injury that are noticed
chemical agents
cold
heat
trauma
invasion of microbes
cancerous cells
what is the desirable response
when it is controlled and proportional
what is a undesirable response
chronic and harmful
what does reparative mean
induces and supports tissue repair
what is the potential harm when it comes to inflammation?
leads to chronic bowl conditions
arthritis and chronic obstructive bowel disease
how can you distinguish between acute vs chronic
onset duration and type of infiltrating inflammatory cells
what are the major cells involved in acute inflammation
neutrophils basophils eosinophils
mononcytes and macrophages
what are the major cells involved in the chronic inflammation
monocytes
macrophages
lymphocytes
plasma cells
fibroblasts
what is the onset period of acute inflammation
onset (few days)
what is the onset time for chronic inflammation
delayed (up to many months or years)
what are the ourcomes associated with acute inflammatory responses
resolution, absess formation, chronic inflmmation
what are the outcomes for chronic inflammation
tissue destruction
fibrosis
what are the causative agents of acute inflammatory responses
pathogens irritants and damage
what is the causative agent for chronic inflammation
persistent acute inflammation due to non degradable pathogens persisitant foreign bodies or autoimmune reactions
what are the cardinal signs of inflammation
heat
redness
swelling
pain
increasing the chance of loss of function
give a brief recap of the inflammation response
foreign agent will enter the body -> local vasodilation and increased vascular permability ->
accumulation of white blood cells at the blood cells wall ->
white blood cells will exit the blood vessel ->
will be drawn to the injury area
CHEMOTAXIS
what are the symptoms seen with the pathological response of releasing of soluble mediators
heat (calor)
redness (rubor)
swelling (tumor)
pain (dolor)
what are the symptoms noticed with the pathological response of vasodilation
heat. (calor)
readness (rubor)
swelling (tumor)
what are the symptoms noticed with the patological response of increased blood flow
swelling (tumor)
what are the symptoms noticed with the patological response to extravasation of fluid
(increased permeability)
swelling (tumor)
