Test 5 Flashcards
(98 cards)
The first line of defense against invading microorganisms is composed of a variety of cells, bodily fluids, functions that are collectively known as
innate immunity
what does PMN stand for?
Polymorphonuclearlymphocyte
what are the most numerous and most important cellular component in the innate immune response.
neutrophils
Neutrophils respond to chemotactic factors and migrate through the endothelium and epithelium of the gingival crevice., True or False
True
what are antigen processing cells that also releases cytokines
monocytes
what cells function is Central to activating the adaptive immune response, and are important in wound healing.
monocytes
what receptors are found in gingival tissue in severe periodontitis and participate in innate immune responses to bacteria in periodontal tissues and in the dentin/pulp complex.
TLR (toll like receptors)
what is an important physiological response and without it we could not resist infection or heal from injury.
inflammation
if what is successful, microbes can be eliminated and replication of tissue cells/repair can occur.
inflammation
Calor, Tumor, Rubor, and Dolor stand for what
Heat, Swelling, Redness, Pain
what are small cell-signaling protein molecules secreted by numerous kinds of cells, that enhances inflammation
cytokines
Vasodilation = increased blood flow
Vascular permeability = blood cells and plasma enter tissues
Recruitment and activation of white blood cells
Secretion of inflammatory mediators
Removal of debris/microorganisms by phagocytic cells
All the following are examples of what
role of inflammation
what cells Increase vascular permeability, activate and attract more PMNs and lymphocytes
cytokines
what plays a role in elevating temperatures that harms bacteria and enhances immunity
cytokines
what cells Induce acute phase proteins in the liver, including CRP, which mimics antibodies and can opsonize bacteria and activate C’
cytokines
if inflammation becomes chronic what can it cause
tissue damage
what is a major inflammatory disease of the oral cavity
periodontitis
what can act as accessory immune cells and promote inflammation.
gingival and PDL fibroblasts
What binds to TRLs and activates them to produce pro- inflammatory molecules that contribute to periodontal inflammation and breakdown.
LPS
neutrophil dysfunction can lead to what
aggressive periodontitis
periodontal inflammation leads stimulates what
osteoclastogenesis
inflammatory promoters may interfere with what
bone formation
Under inflammatory conditions, growth and differentiation factors which stimulate osteoblasts, produced during bone resorption are not what
present is sufficient amounts
Corticosteroids like hydrocortisone or dexamethasone can do what
suppress inflammation
