    Study Notes

    Matic Response

    • Delayed by hours due to the continued activity of multiple inflammatory cells
    • T cells play a crucial role in the inflammatory process

    Inflammatory Process

    • Antigen-presenting cells present various allergenic antigens to chronically activated T helper cells
    • T helper cells secrete multiple cytokines, maintaining and intensifying the local inflammatory response
    • Other inflammatory cells, such as mast cells and eosinophils, respond to T cells' cytokines, producing cytokines that amplify the cellular response and inflammatory reaction

    Migration and Inflammation

    • Inflammatory cells migrate from the circulation into the pulmonary vasculature and airway submucosa
    • The arachidonic acid pathway is a central component of the inflammatory process, leading to the generation of leukotrienes

    Diagnosis

    • Physical examination is a diagnostic method
    • Lung function tests are used to diagnose respiratory issues
