Study Notes
Acute Inflammation
- Rapidly delivers leukocytes and plasma proteins to injury sites.
- Leukocytes clear invaders and digest necrotic tissues.
Components of Acute Inflammation
-
Vascular Changes:
- Vasodilation leads to increased blood flow.
- Increased vascular permeability allows plasma proteins to exit the circulation.
-
Cellular Events:
- Leukocyte recruitment and emigration to injury sites.
- Leukocyte activation to eliminate the offending agent.
- Neutrophils are the primary leukocytes in acute inflammation.
Causes of Acute Inflammation
- Infections
- Trauma (blunt and penetrating)
- Physical agents
- Chemical agents
- Tissue necrosis
- Foreign bodies (splinters, dirt, sutures, crystal deposits)
- Immune reactions (hypersensitivity reactions) against environmental substances or "self" tissues.
Outcomes of Acute Inflammation
-
Resolution: Regeneration and repair.
- Limited or short-lived injury.
- Minimal tissue damage.
- Injured tissue capable of regeneration.
-
Chronic Inflammation:
- Restoration of normal structure and function.
- May lead to scarring.
