LESSON 1: INFLAMMATION & ALLERGY Flashcards
(151 cards)
is a complex dynamic response of tissues to damaging noxious stimuli.
Inflammation
it comprises interrelated vascular & cellular changes in affected tissue;
acute inflammation
acute inflammation aims to?
- Remove
- Neutralized
- Repair
what are the 5 cardinal sign of inflammation?
- pain
- altered functions
- redness
- increase temperature
- swelling
PAIN is due to what?
stimulation of local receptors
this is due to reduced activity.
altered function
redness is due to what?
transient hyperemia
increase of temperature is caused by?
increase blood flow
swelling is cause by?
increase vascular permeability
what are the 2 main components of acute inflammation?
- Innate non-immunological response
- Acquired immunological response
in this event circulating neutrophils adhere to the swollen endothelial cells.
Margination
when margination happens this event will be the next, neutrophils actively migrate through the basement membrane vascular epithelium passing into the area of tissue damage
emigration
this migration process is called what??
chemotaxis
chemotaxis is caused by the attraction of _____ to chemotoxins produced in the site of tissue damage
luekocytes
give me the 3 function of acute inflammation
- to dilute (weakend)
- to eliminate (get rid)
- to remove inflammatory debris (clean)
leukocytes are classified into 2, what are those?
- Polymorphonuclear
- Mononuclear
the main cellular events in acute inflammation is caused by?
chemical mediator
during inflammation the endothelial cell of small arterioles are activated to secrete?
- Nitric oxide& prostcycline
- Endothelin, plasminogen activator, platelet-activation factor, thromboxane A2, angiotensin 2, cytokines
endothelial cell function also in _____ which occurs in wound repair, chronic inflammation & cancer.
Angiogenesis
what is the meaning of angiogenesis?
formation of new blood vessels
_______ is the first line of defense
neutrophils
_______ have the capacities similar to those of the neutrophils & release the number of potent granule that can damage multicellular parasites
eosinophils
______ are similar in many aspects of many mast cells; it secrete histamine. but found on circulating blood.
basophils
this _____ are like basophil but can only be found in tissue, it can be activated to secrete histamine.
mast cells
