What is the main aim of the inflammation response?
To destroy the incoming agent
To contain the incoming agent
To stimulate the innate immune system
To stimulate fever
What happens when inflammatory chemicals are released by damaged cells?
Capillaries dilate and become leaky
Capillaries constrict and become leaky
Capillaries become leaky
Once capillaries become leaky, what cells enter the tissues
Neutraphils
Granulocytes
Phagocytes
Name the phagocytic cells
Macrophages
Lymphocytes
Monocytes
Phagocytes destroy pathogens and dead cells
Phagocytes move out of the blood in three stages- name the first and its definition
Margination
Diapedesis
Cells attach to vascular endothelium
Phagocytes squeeze between leaky endothelial cells
Diapedesis- the squeezing of phagocytes through the capillary wall
What happens in the final stage of phagocytosis
Bacteria are consumed
Bacteria are removed
Bacteria are lysed
After inflammation, the goal is to repair the tissue with scar tissue
Fever- abnormally high body temperature
Name the two causes of fever
Bodily defense mechanism to denature bacteria
Caused by bacterially released cytokines (i.e. Interleukin 1)
The extra heat produced by the bacterial colony
