Schoenwald- Inflammation & Repair Flashcards
(84 cards)
A cellular response to injury is signified by what two things?
- Cellular swelling
2. Fatty degeneration
Define atrophy
Catabolic (breakdown) metabolism of cell which is not immediately lethal to the cell
-Cells shrink
What are 3 types of atrophy?
Symmetric, Asymmetric, Cachexia
What is symmetric atrophy caused by?
Old age & reduced blood supply
What is asymmetric atrophy caused by?
Decreased workload, nutritional deficiencies, chronic low level injury (radiation), neuro endocrine
What is cachexia?
Symmetric atrophy of the entire body (Tumors, AIDS, TB)
What is apoptosis?
Programmed cell death
What cleans up degraded cellular material?
Macrophages
What is necrosis?
Follows irreversible cell and tissue injuries
Name 4 types of necrosis
- Coagulative
- Liquefaction
- Autolysis
- Heterolysis
Tissue with normal protein count is _______ necrosis
Coagulative
Tissue poor in protein (brain & fat) is ______ necrosis
Liquefaction
Self digestion is autolysis or heterolysis?
Autolysis
Digestion for adjacent cells and tissue by enzymes released from dying cells is autolysis or heterolysis?
Heterolysis
Inflammation causes what two processes?
Vasodilation & increased vascular permeability
What cells are mainly involved with acute inflammation?
Neutrophils
Exudative fluid and protein are characteristic of acute or chronic inflammation?
Acute
What are the cardinal signs of acute inflammation?
Rubor (redness)
Tumor (mass effect)
Dolor (pain)
Calor (color)
Histamine, prostacyclin and nitric oxide are involved in vasodilation or increased vasc permeability?
Vasodilation
Vasodilation causes an (increase/decrease) in hydrostatic pressure by (slowing/speeding up) blood flow
increase, slowing
Marginalization of leukocytes along the vessel wall is characteristic of vasodilation or increased vasc permeability?
vasodilation
Increased leakiness of vessels (histamine, leukotrienes) happens in vasodilation or increased vasc permeability?
increased vasc permeability
Increased vasc permeability causes an increase/decrease in osmotic pressure and (more/less) in blood which results in (swelling/not swelling) of tissue
increase, less, swelling
Is endothelial contraction short or long lived?
short
