- describe diseases characterized by a sudden onset with a short, relatively severe
Acute course
- inflammation: immediate response to tissue injury, which lasts from minutes to days
- used to describe diseases characterized by long duration and slow progression
Chronic - inflammation: repeated destruction and repair of tissue for weeks to years after the
initial injury
- leaking of substances out of their containing structure
Extravasation - in inflammation, vascular permeability is increased, and water, salts, and small
plasma proteins escape into the tissues
Diapedesis WBCs migrate out of the blood vessels into the tissues
consists of serum, fibrin, and WBCs that pass out of the blood vessels into an area of
Exudate
inflammation
Hyperemia increase in blood or blood flow to an area of the body
bone fractures, sprains, and dislocations from tripping and falling, sports,
Mechanical injury
recreational activities such as hiking and mountain climbing
sunburn, spilling hot fluids on self, setting clothing on fire by getting too close to
Thermal injury
fireplace or stove, injury from fireworks
