    Study Notes

    Recruitment of Leukocytes

    • White blood cells (WBC) and plasma proteins are recruited to the site of injury during local and systemic inflammation.
    • Inflammation is usually localized but can exhibit systemic effects, such as fever, indicating a broader response.
    • Rare cases of systemic inflammation, like sepsis, occur during severe bacterial infections.

    Removal of the Agent

    • Activated WBCs and plasma proteins aim to eliminate the injuring agent.
    • Local response is concentrated around the site of damage, while systemic response indicates widespread body inflammation.

    Main Characteristics of Inflammation

    • Key features include edema, due to fluid and plasma protein exudation, and the migration of activated leukocytes, primarily neutrophils.
    • Prominence of innate immunity is evident in immune reactions.

    Recognition of Microbes

    • Initial step in inflammatory reactions involves recognizing offending agents through receptors on cell membranes.
    • Receptors identify microbes and cell damage products, triggering inflammation.
    • Different receptors are located at plasma membranes (for extracellular microbes), endosomes (for ingested microbes), and cytosol (for intracellular microbes).

    Chronic Inflammation

    • Occurs when acute inflammation fails to eliminate the stimulus, leading to prolonged inflammatory response.
    • Characterized by increased tissue destruction and presence of lymphocytes and macrophages.

    Mechanisms of Tissue Regeneration

    • Tissue regeneration depends on intrinsic proliferative capacity and presence of stem cells.
    • Cell proliferation is driven by growth factors and the integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM).

    Liver Regeneration

    • The liver demonstrates significant regenerative capacity, which occurs through remaining hepatocyte proliferation or repopulation from progenitor cells.
    • After major liver injury, residual hepatocytes can compensate, aided by cytokines and growth factors.

    Formation of Granulation Tissue

    • Granulation tissue forms through fibroblast migration and proliferation, leading to the deposition of loose connective tissue.
    • This tissue undergoes transformation into fibrous scar tissue, which provides structural stability albeit not normal function.

    Cellular Roles in Tissue Repair

    • Epithelial cells respond to growth factors and migrate to cover wounds.
    • Endothelial cells and pericytes are involved in angiogenesis, forming new blood vessels.
    • Fibroblasts contribute to scar formation by laying down collagen fibers at the injury site.
