Bradykin | released from tissue and immune cells; activated pathways |
Arachidonic acid deriatives | released from damaged tissue; forms leukotriened and thromboxane/prostacyclin; this causes vasodilation and platelet aggregation |
Complement System | a group of proteins activared during inflammation; they form a membrane attack complex that punctures bacteria. Promotes inflammation and acts as an opsonin. |

What are the signs and symptoms of inflammation? | Fever, large number of white blood cells, fatigue, weakness, pain, decreased appetite |
4 signs of inflammation | Circulatory changes-increased flow; redness, swelling, warmth (hyperemia)Vessel wall changes-increased permeabilityWhite blood cell response-formation of exudates (pus)Emigration-movement of cells out of the bloodstream and into the tissue Phagocyto |
What happens during ischemia or anoxia | deficient supply of blood to a body part (as the heart or brain) that is due to obstruction of the inflow of arterial blood (as by the narrowing of arteries by spasm or disease) |
What are the terms that describe cell death | Apoptosis – Programmed cell death; Autolysis – Death of cells due to stopped heart beat or stopped respirations; Necrosis – Is the sum of cellular changes after local cell death and autolysis; 3 types |
3 TYPES OF NECROSIS | Coagulative-cytoplasm becomes coagulated seen in heart & liver caused by anoxia;Liquefactive-dissolution of tissue seen in fatty tissues like brain; peritoneumCaseous-“cheesy” granulomas. Seen in lung or in fungal infection. |
What do the different types of T cells do? | Two types T-lymphocytes B-lymphocytes (and plasma cells) derived from bone marrow, produce Ab’s |
