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
