Study Notes
Patho Exam 2
- Chapter 7: Electrolytes
- Chapter 8: ABGs (pg 150)
- Chapter 41/42: Picture packet
- Chapter 9: Inflammation and Wound Healing
- The Inflammatory Process: The body's response to injury/infection with a multi-step process including:
- Vasodilation: Blood vessels expand to increase blood flow to the injured area, delivering immune cells and nutrients.
- Increased Vascular Permeability: Allows proteins, immune cells, and other factors to leak into the tissue for healing.
- Chemotaxis: White blood cells (like neutrophils & macrophages) move to the injury site guided by chemical signals.
- Phagocytosis: Immune cells engulf pathogens, dead cells, and debris to clear the infection or injury.
- Resolution or Repair: Tissue regeneration or fibrosis (scar formation) occurs after pathogen and debris are cleared.
- Wound Healing: Involves several stages:
- Hemostasis: Immediate response to stop bleeding by constricting blood vessels and forming a clot (platelets and inflammatory mediators, serotonin, histamine).
- Inflammatory Phase: The body cleans the wound using immune cells, increasing vasodilation and vascular permeability, and chemotaxis.
- Proliferative Phase: New tissue (granulation tissue), blood vessels and collagen are formed to repair the damage.
- The Inflammatory Process: The body's response to injury/infection with a multi-step process including:
- Chapter 10: Infectious Diseases
- WBC (White Blood Cells): Essential components of the immune system responsible for fighting infections. Types include neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes/macrophages.
- Immunosuppression: Decreased ability of the immune system to fight infections due to diseases (HIV/AIDS, cancer), medication (chemotherapy, immunosuppressives), or malnutrition.
- Innate Immunity: The body's first line of defense with non-specific responses against pathogens. It includes physical barriers, immune cells (neutrophils, macrophages), natural enzymes, and antibacterial secretions.
- Chapter 11/12:
- Antigens: Substances recognized by the immune system as foreign or non-self; they trigger immune responses. They are proteins, polysaccharides, or other molecules on pathogens or non-pathogens (pollen).
- Antigen Function in Immunity: Antigens can be exogenous (from outside the body) or endogenous (from within the body). The immune system reacts to antigens by producing antibodies and activating T-cells.
- Antibodies (Immunoglobulins): Specialized proteins created by B cells that help fight infection and disease.
- Monocytes/Macrophages: Arise from white blood cells called monocytes and play a role in destroying bacteria, tumor cells and break down various types of antigens.
- Additional Diseases: Information about various diseases (SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, infections), their symptoms, causes, and treatments. Topics are chronic systematic, localized, and infectious illnesses.
