MCA 1 - Test #1 Inflammation, immune
response, infection, fluid & electrolytes,
diabetes, delegation Exam Questions &
Answers (Grade A+)
Inflammatory Response -
correct answer ✅-Sequential response to cell injury
-Establishes an environment for healing and repair
-Inflammation is always present with infection, but infection is not
always present with inflammation - (think sprained ankle)
2 types of Inflammatory response -
correct answer ✅Vascular Response & Cellular response
Vascular Response -
correct answer ✅Initial vascular constriction followed by chemical
mediated (histamine) vasodilation/capillary permeability (redness,
swelling, heat)
Cellular Response -
correct answer ✅-Neutrophils first to arrive - phagocytize bacteria
and other foreign objects
-Dead neutrophils and bacteria are pus
-Monocytes transform into macrophages and clean the area for
healing...
,MCA 1 - Test #1 Inflammation, immune
response, infection, fluid & electrolytes,
diabetes, delegation Exam Questions &
Answers (Grade A+)
-Lymphocytes arrive later - humoral and cell mediated immunity
Pus -
correct answer ✅Dead Neutrophils and bacteria
Chemical mediators -
correct answer ✅-Complement system - enzyme cascade mediates
inflammatin
-Prostaglandins & Leukotrienes - (think of meds used to treat
inflammation - leukotriene inhibitors)
Clinical manifestations of inflammation -
correct answer ✅-Heat, redness, pain, swelling, loss of function
(due to pain & swelling)
-Increase and "shift to the left" (WBCs)
-Fever
Treatment for inflammation -
correct answer ✅RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation)
,MCA 1 - Test #1 Inflammation, immune
response, infection, fluid & electrolytes,
diabetes, delegation Exam Questions &
Answers (Grade A+)
Drug therapy - NSAIDs, tylenol
Regeneration (wound healing) -
correct answer ✅replacement of lost cells and tissues
Repair (wound healing) -
correct answer ✅Lost cells replaced with connective tissue - scar
formation
Primary Intention Healing -
correct answer ✅Incision with blood clot, edges approximated
with suture, fine scare
Secondary Intention Healing -
correct answer ✅Irregular, large wound with blood clot;
granulation tissue fills the wound; large scar
Tertiary Intention Healing -
correct answer ✅Contaminated wound; allow granulation tissue to
build; delayed closure with suture

Answers (Grade A+)
Complications with wound healing -
correct answer ✅adhesions, contractions, dehiscence,
eviscerations, fistula, infection, hemorrhage, hypertrophic scars,
keloid
Adhesions -
correct answer ✅band of scar tissue that form between or around
organs
contractions -
correct answer ✅normal part of healing
dehiscence -
correct answer ✅separation and disruption of previously joined
wound edges
evisceration -
correct answer ✅occurs when wound edges separate to extent
that intestines protrude through wound
