Stage II: Exudate pg 84
COX.
Answer: Cyclo-oxygenase
◉ Review of Related Physiology and Pathology pg 84
Stage II: Exudate pg 84
_________ is an enzyme important in converting body chemicals into
mediators in inflammation that continue the inflammatory response
in the tissues. Many anti-inflammatory drugs stop this cascade by
preventing COX from converting arachidonic acid into mediators.
Answer: Cyclo-oxygenase (COX)

Stage III: Tissue Repair pg 84
,Describe what happens during Stage III: Tissue Repair.
Answer: Although stage III is completed last, it begins at the time of
injury. This process is very important in helping the injured tissue
regain function. WBCs secrete chemicals that trigger the remaining
healthy cells to divide. In tissues such as the heart that are unable to
divide and replace damaged heart cells with new heart cells, WBCs
trigger new blood vessel growth and scar tissue formation. Because
scar tissue is only a patch and does not behave like normal tissue,
loss of function occurs where ever damaged tissues are replaced
with scar tissue.
