4. pain

loss of function - associated w/ pain AT REST (NOT MOVING) or w/ active motion
________ response to inflammatory stage

mediators
neurogenic
chemical - histamine ______;
-serotonin
-kinins and prostaglandins ____ vessel permeability
histamine vasodilates

kinins and prostaglandins INCREASE vessel permeability
vascular changes during inflammatory change.

within seconds of the injury, what happens?
vasoconstriction!
neurogenic and chemical causes
may last seconds to minutes depending on severity of the injury
vascular changes during inflammatory stage

what happens immediately after vasoconstriction?
vasodilation!
produces congestion and hyperemia (hemoconcentration); venous outflow slowed; increased hydrostatic pressure
vascular changes during inflammatory stage.

first vasoconstriction, then vasodilation. whats the 3rd step?
increased vascular permeability
-further congestion and widening of epithelial junctions
-caused by chemical mediators and increased hydrostatic pressure.
vascular changes during inflammatory response.

first vasoconstriction, then vasodilation, then increased vascular permeability. now what?
fluid escapes vessel walls into the interstitial tissue

loss of protein rich fluid from plasma reduces vascular concentration of protein and fluid is osmotically driven into the interstitium

to guide the regeneration of peripheral nerves, to provide conduits for the ensuing axonal growth
regeneration of peripheral nerves has 4 phases:

peripheral nerve rate of regeneration (how fast it grows back)

what is the pattern?
the closer to the spinal cord, the faster the nerve grows (mm/day)

nerve root grows 6 mm/day

definition of elasticity
a materials ability to return to its original state following deformation
definition of stress
stress equals the magnitude of force applied to an object per unit area
stress = force/area
definition of strain
a change in length of a structure

tensile stress = tensile force/cross sectional area

strain is the amount of elongation and narrowing (deformation) strain is measured as a % or resting length
the stress/strain curve in which stress (load) is plotted againts deformation (% change in length) has 3 regions. what are they?
1. Toe region - fibers are stretched and straightened from a resting zig-zag pattern (amount of slack)
2. linear region - represents the ELASTIC CAPABILITY of the tissue. the SLOPE of this relationship equals the elastic modulus
