During acute inflammation when white blood cells move closer to the vascular wall it is termed?
Margination
lymph flow —— when acute inflammation occurs?
increase
Acute inflammation is associated with a(n) ________ in vascular permeability?
increase
In acute inflammation what vessel alterations occur?
caliber, blood flow and permeability
what does vessel alteration allow during acute inflammation?
allows cells and proteins to move into the target tissue.
how long does vasoconstriction last in acute inflammation?
a few seconds
what does vasodilation do in acute inflammation?
increase blood flow, redness and warm
what does increased permeability in acute inflammation allow?
fluid to leave tissue, increase viscosity (wbc’s collect along vascular wall called margination) then move into tissue
what names could migrationg of a white cell be called?
migration diapedesis, transmigration emigration
what is endothelial contraction?
histamine binding creates gaps in postcapillary venules (most commmon) 15-30 mins after acute inflammation
what is endothelial necrosis?
leakage until repaired. From severe burns, severe infections or even extreme radiation
What is leakage from angiogenesis?
new vessels have immature (leaky) endothelial cells.
what is exudate?
a protein rich fluid that comes with acute inflammation may contain wbc’s and rbc’s
what is edema?
lymphatic drainage can’t keep up with flow and backs up
what is a lymphadenopathy?
general disorder of lymph nodes
What is lymphadentis
inflammed nodes, they increase in size and pain. can be palpated
what is lymphangitis?
inflamed lymphatic channel.
what are the 4 steps of leukocyte recruitment?
- margination and rolling
- firm adhesion to endothelium
- transmigration between endothelial cells
- chemotaxis toward target tissue
what causes leukocytes to roll?
selectins along the vessel wall
what protein firmly bind leukocytes?
integrins
how to leukocyte migrate?
via pseudopodia
Neutrophils predominate where?
in acute inflammation
How do neutrophils die?
via apoptosis within 48 hours in acute inflammation
what happens in phagocytosis
removes dead tissue. engulfment and degradation (oxidative burst), Opsonins
