    Study Notes

    Inflammatory Response Overview

    • Activated by tissue injury, initiating a protective mechanism against harm.
    • Functions to prevent the spread of damaging agents, clear debris and pathogens, and alert the adaptive immune system.
    • Prepares the tissue for repair processes to restore function.

    Cardinal Signs of Acute Inflammation

    • Redness: Resulting from increased blood flow (hyperemia).
    • Heat: Also due to hyperemia, contributing to the warmth in the affected area.
    • Swelling: Caused by increased permeability of blood vessels, leading to fluid accumulation.
    • Pain: A symptom resulting from swelling and the release of inflammatory mediators.
    • Impairment of function: In some cases, affected areas may lose normal capability.

    Inflammatory Chemical Release

    • Inflammatory process begins with the release of chemicals into the extracellular fluid (ECF) by:
      • Injured tissues
      • Immune cells
      • Blood proteins
    • Key inflammatory mediators include:
      • Kinins
      • Prostaglandins (PGs)
      • Complement proteins
    • Functions of these mediators:
      • Cause dilation of local arterioles, leading to redness and heat.
      • Increase the leakiness of capillaries, facilitating fluid and immune cell migration.
      • Attract leukocytes (white blood cells) to the site of injury, enhancing the immune response.

    Antimicrobial Substances and Fever

    • The body produces various antimicrobial substances to help combat infections.
    • Fever serves as a systemic response to infection, raising body temperature to inhibit pathogen replication and enhance immune function.

    Antimicrobial Substances and Fever

    • The body produces various antimicrobial substances to help combat infections.
    • Fever serves as a systemic response to infection, raising body temperature to inhibit pathogen replication and enhance immune function.

    Innate Defences: First and Second Lines of Defence

    • Healthy skin is crucial for protection against infections; breaches in skin increase infection risk.
    • First line of defence includes physical barriers like skin, mucous membranes, and secretions that prevent pathogen entry.
    • Surface membranes act as protective barriers, producing secretions and maintaining antimicrobial environments.
    • Phagocytes are key to the second line of defence, including types like neutrophils and macrophages, which ingest and destroy pathogens.
    • Natural Killer (NK) cells attack virus-infected cells and tumor cells, contributing to immune response.
    • Interferons are proteins released by cells to inhibit viral replication and enhance immune responses.
    • The Complement system involves a series of proteins that enhance phagocytosis and lyse pathogens.
    • A fever increases body temperature to limit pathogen growth and enhance immune function.

    Acute Inflammatory Response

    • The Acute Inflammatory Response (AIR) is a mechanism activated in response to injury, serving to contain and heal damage.
    • Inflammation occurs through three basic events: chemical, vascular, and cellular responses, leading to pain, redness, heat, and swelling.
    • Inflammation aims to destroy, dilute, or contain injurious agents and promotes tissue healing through regeneration or scar formation.

    Wound Healing Phases

    • Inflammatory Phase: Initial response involving clotting and influx of immune cells to prevent infection.
    • Proliferative Phase: Tissue formation and repair, where new cells fill the wound space and blood vessels regenerate.
    • Remodeling Phase: Collagen fibers reorganize, strengthening the wound site over time.

    Wound Healing Intentions

    • Primary Intention: Healing occurs with minimal tissue loss, edges approximated (e.g., surgical incisions).
    • Secondary Intention: Healing occurs with extensive tissue loss, requiring granulation tissue and significant regeneration.
    • Tertiary Intention: Healing occurs with delayed closure; the wound is initially cleaned and monitored before being closed surgically.

    Study Tips

    • Review the listed objectives and complete exercises from tutorials for deeper understanding.
    • Engage with lecture materials and practice quizzes to reinforce concepts.
    • Consider watching supplemental videos on wound care and innate immune response for visual learning.
