All of the following are cardinal signs of inflammation EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
fever
All of the following are strategies to prevent Alveolar Osteitis EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
Avoid drinking cold beverages
An increase in the number of white blood cells is called:
Leukocytosis
During the Initiation Phase of acute inflammation changes begin in the small blood vessels. During the Amplification Phase chemical substances kick into action.
Both statements are true
PMN’s are the first cells to arrive in an area of acute inflammation and will try and neutralize the initial cause of the inflammatory process. PMN’s are a type of Mast Cell.
The first statement is true and the second statement is false
Phagocytosis occurs During Event 7 in the Amplification Phase. Opsonization occurs during Event 8 in the Termination Phase.
The first statement is true and the second statement is false
Prostaglandins will cause all of the following EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
Decreased vascular permeablility
Vasodilation occurs during Event 1 in the Initiation Phase. Vasoconstriction occurs during Event 2.
Both statements are false
When chemical mediators released by injured cells and bacteria drive leukocytes (PMNs) toward the area of injury it is called:
Chemotaxis
Which of the following contain strong digestive enzymes that aid in digesting or eliminating phagocytized foreign matter?
Lysosomes
All of the following are cardinal signs of inflammation EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
Loss of function Correct: Fever Heat Redness Pain
PMN’s are the first cells to arrive in an area of acute inflammation and will try and neutralize the initial cause of the inflammatory process. PMN’s are a type of Mast Cell.
The first statement is true and the second statement is false
When leukocytes ingest and digest foreign matter the process is called:
Phagocytosis
Which of the following is the most desired outcome of the inflammatory process?
Correct: Regeneration
Abscess formation
Chronic inflammation
Fibrous repair
When chemical mediators cause the cells in the blood vessel walls to separate slightly and form microscopic gaps the cells become more:
Permeable
Which of the following blood cells are the first to arrive at the scene of a traumatic injury?
Polymorphonuclear neutrophils
Which of the following white blood cells is the main cellular responder in a viral infection?
Lymphocytes
Which of the following systemic effects of inflammation is mediated by cytokines and chemicals released by bacteria stimulating the production of prostaglandins?
Pyrexia
All of the following are actions caused by histamine EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
Correct: Constricts blood vessels
Dilates blood vessels
Increases vascular permeability
Increases nasal mucous
All of the following are endogenous types of chemical mediators EXCEPT one. Which one is the EXCEPTION?
Histamine
Serotonin
Prostaglandins
Correct: Toxins produced by bacteria
Fibrous repair is the final outcome when regeneration is not possible. A Keloid results from excessive scar formation.
Both statements are true
Healing by primary intention occurs when which one of the following conditions is met?
Edges of the wound are brought together by sutures
