◉ inflammatory response. Answer: a reaction to tissue damage caused
by injury or infection
◉ chemotaxis. Answer: Cell movement that occurs in response to
chemical stimulus
◉ endothelial cells. Answer: The thin layer of cells that line the interior
surface of all blood vessels. Only one cell thick in capillaries.
◉ vascular phase. Answer: Hemostasis phase in which injury to a blood
vessel causes it to constrict the flow of blood (vasoconstriction).
◉ cellular phase. Answer: Chemotaxis
Margination, rolling, adhesion
Transmigration (diapedesis)
Phagocytosis
Termination
, ◉ leukocyte activation and phagocytosis. Answer: At the site of injury a
number of leukocyte responses are triggered: phagocytosis and cell
killing
◉ cells of inflammation. Answer: platelets, neutrophils, monocytes,
eosinophils, basophils, mast cells
◉ platelets in inflammation. Answer: Activated, release a number of
inflammatory mediators, increases vascular permeability and altering
chemotactic, adhesive, and proteolytic properties of the endothelial cells.
-release proteins to help mediate inflammation
◉ Neutrophils. Answer: A type of white blood cell that engulfs invading
microbes and contributes to the nonspecific defenses of the body against
disease.
◉ monocytes. Answer: An agranular leukocyte that is able to migrate
into tissues and transform into a macrophage.
◉ macrophages. Answer: phagocytize foreign substances and help
activate T cells
◉ Monocytes/Macrophages. Answer: Monocytes and macrophages
produce potent vasoactive mediators, including prostaglandins and
leukotrienes (LT), platelet-activating factor (PAF), inflammatory
