Acute inflammatory response - ANSWER An expected body response to injury



Chronic inflammation - ANSWER Altered inflammatory response because of unrelenting injury



3 lines of defense - ANSWER 1. Protection of the skin and mucous membranes (physical and chemical
barrier)

2. Effective inflammatory response (nonspecific; identical response regardless of the cause of injury)

3. Immune response (specific defense based on type of invader)



Acute inflammation - ANSWER Triggered by tissue injury, essential for healing



Injury - ANSWER Any form of damage or alteration to cells or tissues

Ex. Microorganism invasion, cellular mutations, hypoxia, anoxia, nutritional deficiencies,
physical/chemical damage



3 major goals of the acute inflammatory response - ANSWER 1. Vascular response (increase blood flow
to injury site)

2. Cellular response (alert products of healing to attend to injury site)

3. Remove injured tissue, prepare site for repair and healing



Process of inflammation - ANSWER Recognize injury

Activate a response

Shut down response when injury has passed

Result = tissue repair/regeneration/scar tissue
