Resource summary
ACUTE INFLAMMATION 2/2
CHEMOTAXSIS: chemical attraction
Arrival of neutrophils is mediated by CHEMOTACTIC FACTORS
These factors bind to receptors on tissue damage and activate messenger signals
Main chemotactic factors: COMPLOMENT(C5a), LEUKOTRIENE(LTB4), BACTERIAL TOXINS
ROLE OF NEUTROPHILS
MOTILITY
ADHESION TO MICROORGANISMS
PHAGOCYTOSIS
INTRACELLULAR KILLING
RELEASE OF LYSOSOMAL PRODUCTS
OPSONIN: A binding enhancer for pahgocytosis
PHAGOCYTOSIS
Polymorphonuclear Leukocytes attachby membrane receptors
Surround it by pseudopodia, which fuse together
Lysosomes fuse(digestive enzymes)
after destroyed clearing up is left to macrophages
The main purpose of inflammation is to protect tissues: chance of damage still exists
KININS:PROTEINS FROM BLOOD
Activated by coagulation factorXII (Hageman factor)
Most important in bradykinin - pain mediator
INFLAMMATORY MEDIATORS
Cause:VASODILATION
EMIGRATION OF NEUTROPHILS
CHEMOTAXIS AND INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY
CELLULAR MAEDIATORS:
HISTAMINE
LYSOSOMAL COMPOUNDS
LEUKOTRIENES
PROSTAGLANDINS
SERETONIN
LYMPHOKINES
COMPLEMENT
Enzymatic proteins produced in the liver and secreted into blood
Helps Ab and phagocytic cells to clear pathogens
OPSONISATION:enhances phagocytosis, IgG and c3
CHEMOTAXSIS:attraction of other immune cells
LYSIS: rupturing foreign cells
CLUMPING:of antigens
COAGULATION SYSTEM
Conversion of FIBRINOGEN to FIBRIN
Major component of inflammatory exudate
POSSIBLE OUTCOMES OF AI
RESOLUTION:minimal cell death, rapid destruction of agent, removal of exudate
SUPPURATION:formation of pus, agent is persistent, surrounded by pyogenic membrane
ORGANISATION:replacement of tissue with granular tissue
PROGRESSION TO CHRONIC
If causative agent persists - character of exudate changes lymph and macrophages
