QuestionAnswer
are the first phagocytic leukoctes to arrive at the inflamed site. They ingest bacteria, dead cells and cellular debris and then die and are removed as pus through the epithelium and lymphatic system. neutrophils
help to control the inflammatory response or act directly against parasites. eosinohils
have a function similar to the mast cell. basophils
are cytoplasmic fragments that stop bleeding if vascular injury has occurred platlets
probably the most important activation of the inflammatory response. Develop in the bone marrow move through the blood stream and mature in the tissue. They are filled with granule and located in the loose connective tissue close to blood vessels. mast cells
vasoactive amine that causes temporary rapid constriction of the smooth muscle of large vessel walls dilation of the postcapillary venules resulting in increased blood flow into the microcirculation and increased vascular permeability resulting from retra histamine
directional movement of cells along a chemical gradient formed by a chemotactic factor. chemotaxis
primary defense against some parasites. esinophil
the proteins of the _____ system are among the body’s most potent defenders against bacterial infection. complement system
the ___ system is a plasma protein system that forms a fibrous meshwork at the inflamed site to trap exudates, microorganisms, and foreign bodies. clotting system
the main substance in the above mesh work. fibrin
at low doses causes dilation of vessels, acts with prostaglandins to induce pain, cause extravascular smooth muscle contraction, increase vascular permeability, and may increase leukocyte chemotaxis. bradykinin
live longer then any of the other cells. macrophage
arrive first at the site of injury. neutrophils
largest normal blood cell. monocyte
produced in the bone marrow enters the circulation and migrates to the inflammatory site where it develops into a macrophage. monocyte
secrete substances that promote the re-growth of tissue during wound healing. macrophages
turned on by lymphokines secreted by T-cells macrophage
granulocytes with many lysosomes containing serotonin and hisamine and a protein that can dissolve the surface membranes of parasites. Do not phagocytose. eosinophil
the chief immunoglobulin involved in allergic hypersensitivity reactions. IgE
one of the body’s defenses against viral infection is production of this, and has no effect on a cell that is already infected by the virus. interferon
acts directly on the hypothalamus which controls the body’s thermostat. interluekin 1
