Mast cell - ANSWER Cellular bags of granules located in loose connective tisssue close to
blood vessels. Activation initiates inflammatory process.
Histamine - ANSWER Causes vasodilation, increases vascular permeability, increases
blood flow to the site of injury- causes erythema and swelling.
Cytokines - ANSWER Soluble factors that contribute to the regulation of innate or
adaptive resistance by affecting other neighboring cells. Can be pro-inflammatory or
anti-inflammatory. Can react quickly or be more delayed.
Leukotrines - ANSWER Released when mast cells degranulate, prolong the inflammatory
process. Cause vasodilation, attract neutrophils, monocytes, and eosinophils.target of
inhibition for singular.
Prostaglandins - ANSWER Released when mast cells degranulate, are produced by the
arachidonic pathway. Cause vasodilation, platelet aggregation at site of injury, pain, and
fever.
Chemotactic factors - ANSWER Biochemical substance that attracts leukocyte to the site
of inflammation
Neutrophils - ANSWER Predominant leukocyte at work during the early stages of acute
inflammation
Monocytes - ANSWER Become macrophages when entering the tissue, responsible for
presenting antigens to the CD4 cell which triggers T-cell immunity and B-cell immunity.
,Releases additional cytokines IL1, IL6, TNF.
Cytokine IL1 function - ANSWER Causes fever, activates phagocytes & lymphocytes and
also increases the release of IL6a
