Study Notes
Inflammation: Acute vs Chronic and Cellular Mediators
- Acute inflammation involves alteration of vascular caliber, vasodilation, increased blood flow, and swelling
- Neutrophils are the first inflammatory cells attracted to the site of injury
- Acute inflammation resolves within hours to days
- Chronic inflammation is persistent, involving immune cells, mediators, cell/tissue damage, and repair
- Chronic inflammation leads to fibrous scarring and involves macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts
- Chemical mediators of inflammation include vasoactive amines, cytokines, arachidonic acid derivatives, PAF, lysosomal enzymes, reactive oxygen species, and nitric oxide
- Neutrophils are short-lived cells involved in phagocytosis and release oxygen radicals, enzymes, and lysosomes
- Basophils and mast cells secrete histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins, contributing to vasodilation, bronchoconstriction, and edema
- Macrophages are activated by antigens or cytokines and secrete factors promoting inflammatory responses, fever, and innate immunity
- T lymphocytes express T cell receptors and interact with antigen-presenting cells, playing a role in immune responses
- B lymphocytes produce different immunoglobulin classes and are activated by T helper cells
- Histamine is preformed and stored in mast cells and basophils and is responsible for vasodilation, bronchoconstriction, and edema
