| A | B |
|---|
| Cardinal signs of acute inflammation | Redness, Swelling, Heat, Pain, Loss of Function |
| Increase in capillary permeability | When protein rich fluid leaks into the interstitial space |
| Rapid vasodilation of blood vessels | Causes redness and heat |
| The cellular stage | Movement of leukocytes to the area of injury resulting in leukocytosis |
| Platelets | Release inflammatory mediators and enhance inflammatory response |
| Lifespan of 10 hours | Neutrophil |
| WBC > 10,000 mm3 | Bacteria infections and inflammatory processes |
| Immature neutrophils | Bands |
| Play a role in chronic inflammation | Monocytes |
| Eosinophil | Regulate inflammation and allergic responses |
| Margination | Leukocytes move to edge of capillary wall |
| Transmigration | leuckocytes migrate into tissues |
| Chemotaxis | Leukocytes migrate to the site of injury |
| What happens during Phagocytosis? | Adhere, Engulf, Kill |
| Serous exudate | Watery fluids low in protein |
| Hemorrhagic exudate | Bloody fluid due to the leakage of RBCs from capillaries |
| Fibrinous exudate | Contains fibrinogen |
| Membranous exudate | Form on mucous membranes and are made up of necrotic cells |
| Purulent exudate | Pus |
| Absess | Localized area with fibrous wall and filled with pus |
| 4,000mm3 - 10,000 mm3 | Normal WBC count |
| Increase in WBC | Leukocytosis |
| Inflammation | Normal body response to cell and tissue injury |
| Lymphadenitis | Swelling of lymph nodes |
| Systemic Manifestation of Inflammation | Fever |
