    Study Notes

    Inflammatory Response

    • Vasodilation increases microvascular permeability, allowing neutrophils to migrate and activating pain receptors.
    • Bradykinin is the primary kinin produced during inflammation.
    • Mast cells release histamine and mediate the inflammatory response.
    • Dendritic cells process and present antigens to activate T-cells, acting as messengers between the innate and adaptive immune systems.
    • Leukocytes include:
      • Neutrophils (60-70% of WBCs): Key players in phagocytosis.
      • Eosinophils: Combat allergies and parasites; associated with asthma.
      • Basophils: Involved in inflammatory and hypersensitivity reactions.
      • Monocytes/Macrophages: Differentiate into tissue macrophages for phagocytosis.
      • Natural Killer (NK) Cells: Target virus-infected and cancer cells.
      • B-Cells: Produce antibodies.
      • T-Cells: Fight infections and enhance immune response.

    Fluid and Electrolyte Balance

    • Osmosis: Passive process moving water from high to low concentration across a semi-permeable membrane, requiring no energy.
    • Hydrostatic pressure: The force exerted by fluids in a system; differs from osmosis in that it can involve energy.
    • Lactic acid accumulation in anaerobic glycolysis leads to decreased pH, disrupting Na+/K+ pump function and causing cell swelling.

    Altered Cell Function

    • Hypoxic cell injury: Decrease in oxygen delivery to blood cells, often due to lung injury; ischemia is the primary cause of cell injury.
    • Irreversible cell injury can result from cell membrane damage and lysosomal membrane injury leading to enzyme leakage and necrosis.
    • Fluid loss from blood vessels leads to cellular swelling, signaling compromised cell viability.

    Immune Response

    • Non-specific (innate immunity) includes inflammation and natural barriers; specific (adaptive immunity) involves humoral (B-lymphocytes) and cell-mediated (T-lymphocytes) responses.
    • Vascular response entails vasodilation and increased permeability, facilitating white blood cell migration to injury sites for healing, infection prevention, and damage control.

    Feedback Mechanisms in Homeostasis

    • Homeostasis is a dynamic state of internal balance; disruptions can cause illness.
    • Maintained by feedback mechanisms with three components:
      • Sensor: Detects changes.
      • Control Center: Regulates responses.
      • Effector: Restores balance.
    • Two types of feedback mechanisms:
      • Negative: Corrects disruptions (e.g., regulating blood glucose).
      • Positive: Further accentuates changes (e.g., labor contractions).

    Plasma Protein Cascade and Chemotaxis

    • Plasma protein cascade includes the complement system, clotting cascade, and kinin system.
    • Chemotaxis refers to the movement of cells in response to chemical stimuli, often driven by cytokines.
    • Complement system: Recruits WBCs to injuries and facilitates destruction of pathogens through lysis and opsonization.
    • Clotting cascade forms a meshwork that traps microorganisms, promotes healing, and halts bleeding.

    Sodium and Water Balance Alterations

    • Isotonic alterations involve equal concentration changes in body water and electrolytes.
    • Hypertonic alterations result in intracellular dehydration with Na+ >145, causing fluid to move out of cells.
    • Hypotonic alterations present with Na+ <135, indicating excess water and low extracellular osmolarity.

    Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease

    • Modifiable: Hyperhomocysteinemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, smoking, obesity, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, stress, alcohol use.
    • Non-modifiable: Age, gender (higher risk for males and post-menopausal females), genetic predisposition, ethnicity (higher among Black/Asian populations).

    Atherosclerotic Plaque Development

    • Initiating event: Injury to the endothelium leads to dysfunction and inflammation.
