Study Notes
- Inflammation is a local protective response of living vascularized tissue intended to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury and the necrotic cells and tissue arising from it.
- The beneficial effects of inflammation include localizing and isolating the causative agent, destroying or diluting it, neutralizing and inactivating toxins, and preparing the area for repair.
- Acute inflammation is the immediate and early response to injury, characterized by a rapid onset, short duration, and cellular infiltrate of neutrophils.
- Acute inflammation's cardinal signs are heat, redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function.
- Stimuli of acute inflammation include infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic), trauma (blunt or penetrating), physical and chemical agents (burns, irradiation), tissue necrosis from any cause, and foreign bodies.
- Mechanisms of acute inflammation involve vascular changes and cellular events.
- Vascular changes include transient vasoconstriction, arteriolar vasodilation, and slow circulation, which result in hydrostatic pressure and increased vascular permeability.
- Leukocyte recruitment is the process by which white blood cells (leukocytes) are summoned from the bloodstream to migrate towards and accumulate at a site of injury, and it is a multistep process mediated by adhesion molecules and cytokines.
- The journey of leukocytes from the vessel lumen to the tissue includes the steps of margination & rolling, firm adhesion, and transmigration, and it is mediated by selectin adhesion molecules.
- E-selectin is a receptor expressed on endothelial cells that plays a role in the initial attachment of leukocytes to the endothelium during inflammation.
