Q

Explain how fever helps the body

A
  1. Fever increases the activity of white blood cells and the production of interferons, which help fight infection.
  2. Fever increases the body’s metabolic rate, which helps produce heat and fight infection.
  3. Fever causes vasoconstriction, which reduces heat loss.
  4. Fever can cause shivering, which increases heat production.

Q

Type of Inflammation:
caused by predominating cells include neutrophil (with some eosinophil & mobile macrophages)

Study These Flashcards
A

Acute Inflammation

25
Type of Inflammation: Common in bacterial and viral infections
Acute Inflammation
26
Type of Inflammation: Non specific immune response
Acute Inflammation
27
Type of Inflammation: Stereotyped response
Acute Inflammation
28
Type of Inflammation: Can lead to occasional necrosis
Acute Inflammation
29
Type of Inflammation: Fluid production is part of the response
Acute Inflammation
30
Type of Inflammation: Vascular response
Acute Inflammation
31
Type of Inflammation: Specific Immune response
Chronic Inflammation
32
Type of Inflammation: Response is variable
Chronic Inflammation
33
Type of Inflammation: Production of Fibrous tissue
Chronic Inflammation
34
Type of Inflammation: There is always necrosis
Chronic Inflammation
35
Type of Inflammation: Marked by fibroplasia and angiogenesis
Chronic Inflammation
36
Type of Inflammation: predominating cells include mononuclears (lymphocyte & monocyte);
Chronic Inflammation
37
Type of Inflammation: Common in mycobacterial, fungal, and metazoan parasite infections
Chronic Inflammation
38
Specific Types of Inflammation: exudate is present, which is a fluid high in protein & cellular debris from circulation into tissues or tissues surfaces
Exudative Inflammation
39
Specific Types of Inflammation: serous exudate is present, which is high in serum but low in inflammatory cells (therefore thin & watery)
Serous Inflammation
40
Specific Types of Inflammation : pus exudate is present, made up of neutrophils, dead bacteria, rbc, and cellular debris
Purulent / Suppurative Inflammation
41
Specific Types of Inflammation : fibrin/ coagulated protein exudate from fibrinogen (upon reaction with thrombin) is present, due to increased capillary permeability & leakage of plasma protein from damaged epithelium
Fibrinous Inflammation
42
Specific Types of Inflammation: has copious discharge of mucus & epithelial debris from mucosa
Catarrhal mucopurulent Inflammation
43
Specific Types of Inflammation: fibrinous exudate is present and is firmly attached in the underlying tissue Cutaneous in manifestation.
Diphtheritic Inflammation
44
Specific Types of Inflammation: Has an appearance of chronic nonhealing ulcers in the exposed part of the body, 
Diphtheritic Inflammation
45
Specific Types of Inflammation: granulomas are present, wherein macrophages predominate, with more or less lymphocytes, plasma cells and multinucleated giant cells
Granulomatous Inflammation
46
Specific Types of Inflammation: affecting the stroma or the interstitial spaces of the organ.
Interstitial Inflammation
47
Specific Types of Inflammation: affecting the parenchyma of an organ ( essentially the tissue elements of an organ).
Parenchymatous Inflammation
48
Specific Types of Inflammation: marked by formation of false membrane, composed of precipitated fibrin, necrotic epithelium & inflammatory leukocytes
Pseudomembranous Inflammation
49
Specific Types of Inflammation: consist of mucus & variable no. of inflammatory cells
Mucoid Inflammation
50
Specific Types of Inflammation: eosinophils predominate
Eosinophilic Inflammation
51
Specific Types of Inflammation: mononuclear cells predominate, especially the lymphocyte & plasma cells.
Non suppurative Inflammation
52
Specific Types of Inflammation: extravasated blood predominate due to severe vascular damage
Hemorrhagic Inflammation
53
Specific Types of Inflammation: mixed neutrophils & macrophages are present
Pyogranulomatous Inflammation
54
Specific Types of Inflammation: marked by necrosis, with small amount of leukocytes and vascular contributions
Necrotizing Inflammation
