5 cardinal signs of inflammation - Answer swelling, heat, redness, pain, loss of function
causes of inflammation - Answer injury, immune reactions, death
histamine - Answer allergic reactions
prostaglandins - Answer vasodilation, fever promotion
c-reactive protein - Answer elevate in response to inflammation
bradykinin - Answer stimulates pain
complement - Answer phagocytosis, stimulates leukocytes to respond
local cellular inflammatory response - Answer WBC's enter injured tissue
local vascular inflammatory response - Answer prostaglandins and leukotrines trigger
vasodilation and vasoconstriction
systemic cellular inflammatory response - Answer inflammatory mediators cause WBC
production -> WBC count rises -> immature neutrophils released into blood
systemic acute inflammatory response (wbc's) - Answer WBC's release interleukins and
tumor necrosis factor, thermoregulating center causing fever, CNS affected causing lethargy,
lymphadenopathy, and possible skeletal muscle breakdown
systemic acute inflammatory response (liver) - Answer liver makes fibrinogen and creatine
protein -> clotting -> binding to pathogens -> moderates inflammatory response
serous/transudate exudate - Answer watery fluid from plasma entering site
hemorrhagic exudate - Answer leakage of rbc from capillaries
, fibrinous exudate - Answer thick and sticky meshwork containing fibrinogen
membranous exudate - Answer develop on mucous membranes, contain necrotic cells
purulent exudate - Answer contains pus made up of wbc, proteins, and tissue debris
acute inflammation - Answer short-term
chronic inflammation - Answer long-term
three phases of wound healing - Answer inflammatory, proliferative, remodeling
inflammatory stage of wound healing - Answer begins at injury onset, prepares wound for
healing through hemostasis, vascular and cellular phases of inflammation
proliferative stage of wound healing - Answer begins 2-3 days, after injury, building of new
tissue to fill the wound space (epithelialization), mainly fibroblasts at work, collagen
accumulates
remodeling stage of wound healing - Answer begins 3 weeks after injury, may last up to 6
months, collagen synthesis continues remodeling of scar tissue occurs
factors affecting wound healing - Answer nutrition, age, adequate blood flow, infections,
decreased immune and inflammatory responses, obesity (DIANA O)
immunity - Answer protection from disease
antigens - Answer "non-self"/foreign substances
antibodies - Answer proteins secreted by b-cells that function as antigen-receptors on
immune cells that recognize foreign substances
innate immunity - Answer inborn immunity, barriers in place prior to infection acting as an
immediate barrier
