Terms in this set (111)
-a normal and expected physiological response to
cellular injury
inflammation -provides opportunity to heal or repair
-neutralizes harmful agents
-removes dead tissue
Latin inflammare means "to set fire"
-redness
an immunologic defense -swelling
against tissue injury, -warmth
infection, or allergy is -pain
characterized by:
-(and sometimes loss of function)
inflammation is caused by accumulation of immune cells and substances
immediate response, short term (mins to days)
acute inflammation role: to eradicate harmful stimuli from body and to
initiate repair
-vascular changes
-action of inflammatory mediators (ex: histamine and
acute inflammation
prostaglandins)
involves
-infiltration of tissue by WBCs
-has two stages
, 2 stages of acute 1. vascular stage
inflammation 2. cellular stage
-injury
-mast cells release inflammatory mediators (such as
histamine)
Vascular stage of acute
-histamine causes vasodilation
inflammation
-inflammatory mediators increase vascular
permeability
-swelling compresses pain receptors causing pain
vasodilation attributes to redness and heat
-plasma proteins to enter tissue space
vascular permeability -increased osmotic pressure pulls fluid into the tissue
allows space causing further edema
-allows for exudate to escape into the tissues
swelling compresses what compresses pain receptors causing pain
fluid that contains:
-leukocytes (WBCs)
-plasma proteins
What is exudate? -biochemical mediators
-it varies in composition and depends on the stage of
the inflammatory response
1. serous exudate
What are the 3 types of
2. fibrinous exudate
exudate?
3. purulent exudate
-clear, watery
describe serous exudate
-few leukocytes and plasma proteins
example of serous blister
exudate
-thick and sticky
describe fibrinous exudate
-has large amount of fibrin
