Study Notes
Inflammation
- Acute inflammation is characterized by the presence of polymorphonuclear cells.
- The five classic signs of acute inflammation are:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Heat
- Pain
- Loss of function
Purpose of Inflammation
- The purpose of inflammation is to protect the body from injury or infection.
Vascular Permeability
- Increased vascular permeability is influenced by factors such as histamine, bradykinin, and leukotrienes, but NOT by albumin.
Transudate and Exudate
- The main difference between transudate and exudate is that transudate is a clear fluid with low protein content, while exudate is a cloudy fluid with high protein content.
Cellular Response
- The steps in the cellular response during inflammation do NOT include fibroblast activation.
Neutrophils
- The function of neutrophils' tertiary granules is to degrade extracellular matrix components.
Cell Division
- Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
- Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in four non-identical daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Genetics
- Polygenic inheritance is characterized by the interaction of several genes and is not a Mendelian inheritance pattern.
- The term used to describe the identification of genetic disorders in families through the analysis of family trees is pedigree analysis.
- The inheritance pattern that is NOT Mendelian is polygenic inheritance.
Meiosis
- During meiosis, genetic diversity is generated through two processes: crossing over and independent assortment.
- Crossing over involves the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.
- Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in four non-identical daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Fertilization
- The process of fertilization involves the fusion of a sperm cell with an egg cell, resulting in the formation of a zygote.
