imflamation and healing

        Help!  

inflammation
Causes of cellular injury   show trauma- will cause cellular injury   toxicity- things we inhale or ingest        
🗑
Inflammatory response   vasomotor response ( vasoconstriction limits further bleeding and extent of injury)(vasodilation increases blood flow to help heal<hyperremia- area will get red> in diabetes there is decreased blood flow hard to heal wounds   adhesion/ chemotaxis- neutrophils break from vessels and go to area and adhere to injured area ( selectins, Icams, integrins aid in migration and adhesion)   exudation- fluid coming out of blood vessels that contain fibrinogin ( originally thin it becomes thick and clots<cellular debris>)   Fibrin barrier formation- fibrinogin is activated to fibrin which clots     show
🗑
Purpose of vasodilation   to bring WBC to injured area( leukocytosis)   netrophils and monocytes are increased   in acute inflammation that is short and first there is an increase in neutrophils   in chronic inflammation - an infection that you had for a long time there will be more lymphocytes than any other WBC   show vasodilation neutralizes toxinsin the area  
🗑
show wards off infection by forming a wall barrier around the injured area and prevents infection spreading   forms meshwork for healing   provides for homeostasis- bleeding stops- and cooagulation        
🗑
show hyperemia- redness or ruboor (vasodilation)   tumor- swelling (fluid)   calor- heat ( vasodilation)   Dalor -pain( from sensory nerve signals)   functo laesa- loss of function due to pain    
🗑
Systemic signs and symptoms   show leukocytosis (8,000 wbc),increase wbc synthesis in bone marrow   increase ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate) indicate RBC tissue breakdown   acute phase reactant- serum proteins are altered ( albumin, fibrinogen, globulin)   anorexia   hormone increase (cortisol- stress hormone from cortext of adrenal gland)  
🗑
Types of healing   show regeneration- dead cells replaced by functional cells- (GIT,GUT, skin, and bone marrow are highly regenerative)( kidney, liver, bone, lungs, and muscle are moderately regen)(brain and heart do not regenrate)   repair- healing when tissues are replaced by non functional scar tissue        
🗑
3 levels of repair   healing by first intention- clean surgical ends of wound are together- starts from top- edges come together- no scar formation   healing by secondary intentions- deeper and larger wound ( draiing ulcer)- healing starts from below- inside comes out- works its way up - scarring is more intensive   3. - healing of infected wounds or those of high risk infection- gaping wounds need to be sutured inorder to heal       show
🗑
Delayed healing results from   show malnutrition   immunosupression - ( AIDS, chemo, autoimmune, transplant)   vascular problems ( diabetes, cardiac problems)   obesity    
🗑
What helps heal   antibiotics ( can result in 2nd infection)   local application of heat or ice- ice - vasoconstrict heat- vasodilate   debrivment- remove puss and scabs and drain secretions   drug therapy ( steroids, NSAID- tylenol,immunosupressives, antihistamine     show
🗑
Biologic response modifiers will increase wbc   interleukins stimulate wbc ( lymphocyte/monocyte)   GMSF   growth factor     show  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
