Study Notes
Inflammation and its Cellular and Vascular Responses
- Arteriolar vasodilatation leads to increased blood flow and engorgement of capillary beds, clinically evidenced as heat and erythema (redness).
- Vascular stage of acute inflammation includes vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation induced by inflammatory chemicals, leading to redness, heat, and swelling.
- Cellular stage of acute inflammation involves the sequence of leukocyte extravasation from the vascular lumen to the extravascular space through migration, rolling, adhesion, and transmigration.
- Leukocyte influx primarily consists of neutrophils, which migrate towards the injury site through chemotaxis and undergo activation, degranulation, and phagocytosis.
- Defects in leukocyte function, such as adhesion, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis, can lead to clinical examples of leukocyte-induced injury in acute and chronic conditions.
- Chemical mediators of inflammation include vasoactive amines (histamine, serotonin, and bradykinin) and plasma proteases, which have various effects on vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and pain.
- Eicosanoids, such as leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and lipoxins, mediate virtually every step of inflammation, including vasoconstriction, vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and chemotaxis.
- Cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF), activate inflammatory cells during cell-mediated responses.
- Outcomes of acute inflammation can include complete resolution, scarring or fibrosis, abscess formation, or progression to chronic inflammation.
- Events in the complete resolution of inflammation involve the return to normal vascular permeability, removal of edema fluid and proteins, and eventual exodus of macrophages.
- Chronic inflammation is characterized by infiltration of mononuclear cells, tissue destruction, and repair by angiogenesis and fibrosis, and it may follow acute inflammation or result from viral or persistent infections.
- Chronic inflammation may persist for long durations and involve etiologies such as viral infections and persistent infections by specific microorganisms.
Understanding the Immune System
- The immune system comprises cells, tissues, and organs defending the body against invading organisms such as pathogens, abnormal cells, and substances.
- It distinguishes "self" from "non-self" with precision, crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing infections and diseases.
- Immunity refers to protection against infection, and the immune response is the coordinated reaction of the immune system against infections and foreign substances.
- Lymphatic organs include primary organs like red bone marrow and the thymus gland, as well as secondary organs like lymph nodes and the spleen.
- The thymus gland is crucial for producing T lymphocytes, important for fighting infections, and it has a cortex and medulla made up of different cell types.
- The immune system is designed to defend the body against various invaders, including microorganisms, cancer cells, and transplanted organs and tissues.
- Lymph nodes function to filter interstitial fluid, exposing T-cells and B-cells to a wide range of antigens, while the spleen controls blood cell levels and removes old or damaged red blood cells.
- The innate immune system provides feverishly fast, non-specific defense against pathogens, using physical and chemical barriers as well as phagocytes and the complement system.
- Phagocytosis, involving chemotaxis, adherence, ingestion, digestion, and killing, is a key function of the innate immune response.
- The complement system, with pathways like classical and alternative, activates inflammation, opsonization, and direct killing of target cells and microbes.
- The adaptive immune response is activated when pathogens bypass innate defenses, and it involves the recognition of antigens, production of antibodies, and activation of B and T cells.
- Antigens stimulate an immune response, leading to the production of antibodies that attach to the antigen to destroy the pathogen, while lymphocytes, including B cells and T cells, are activated by antibodies and play crucial roles in humoral and cell-mediated immunity.
