5 Questions
What are the learning outcomes of the Acute Inflammation class?
The learning outcomes include defining inflammation, listing the causes of inflammation, describing the clinical and microscopical features and outcome of inflammation, listing the pathophysiology mediators of inflammation, describing cascades in inflammation, describing cytokines in inflammation, listing the beneficial and harmful effects of inflammation, and listing the outcomes of inflammation.
What is the definition of inflammation?
Inflammation is the reaction of a vascularised living tissue to a local injury, intended to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury and the necrotic cells and tissues arising from the injury. It is a protective response that may be harmful and is intimately associated with the repair process.
What are the objectives of inflammation?
The objectives of inflammation are to localise and eliminate the causative agent, limit tissue injury, and begin the process of healing.
How are inflammatory lesions usually indicated?
Inflammatory lesions are usually indicated by the suffix (ITIS).
What is the association between inflammation and the repair process?
Inflammation is intimately associated with the repair process, as it is a protective response intended to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury and the necrotic cells and tissues arising from the injury.
