Study Notes
Inflammation Process
- Caused by tissue swelling and release of chemical mediators
- Characterized by accumulation of fluids at the tissue injury site, leading to pain and decreased mobility
- Occurs 10-15 minutes after injury, associated with vasodilation and increased capillary permeability
Chemical Mediators
- There are 3 chemical mediators associated with inflammation
- Bradykinin, which increases capillary permeability and sensation of pain
- Histamine, which causes dilation of arterioles and increases capillary permeability
- Prostaglandin, which sensitizes nerve cells to pain
Anti-Inflammatory Agents
- Also known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Inhibit the biosynthesis of prostaglandin, affecting the inflammatory process
