Question:
Acute inflammation triggers .
Answer:
various injurious stimuli, such as infections, microbial toxins, physical injury, surgery,
cancer, chemical agents, tissue necrosis, foreign bodies, and immune reactions.
Question:
Three Main Stages of acute inflammation .
Answer:
Vascular permeability Cellular chemotaxis Systemic responses
Question:
Vascular permeability .
Answer:
vascular phase at a site of inflammation, inflammatory mediators such as histamine
and bradykinin cause the blood vessels to dilate and become more permeable. This
permits fluids, WBCs, and platelets to travel to the site of injury or infection.
Vasodilation of the arterioles is followed by enhanced capillary permeability, allowing
fluid to flow out of the blood vessels to the injured tissues
Question:
Purulent exudate (pus) .
Answer:
fluid is rich in protein from WBCs, microbial organisms, and cellular debris
, Question:
Abscess: .
Answer:
localized, walled-off collection of purulent exudate within tissue
Question:
Transudate .
Answer:
fluid that contains little protein and is mainly a watery filtrate of blood
Question:
Effusion .
Answer:
Any accumulation of fluid in a body cavity *due to inflammatory or non-inflammatory
processes.
Question:
Chemotaxis .
Answer:
Cell movement that occurs in response to chemical stimulus: a chemical signal from
microbial agents, endothelial cells, and WBCs attracts platelets and other WBCs to the
site of injury
Question:
Leukocytosis .
Answer:
Increase in the number of white blood cells release by bone marrow into blood
Question:
leukemoid reaction .
Answer:
Exaggerated WBC response to infection ex. Leukemia
