|
Antibodies |
Immunoglobulin's; produced by B cell plasma cells in response to protein; reacts to destruction through activation of the inflammatory response
|
|
|
Antigen |
Foreign protien |
|
|
Arachidonic |
Released from injured cells to stimulate the inflammatory response through activation of various chemical substances. |
|
|
Autoimmune disease |
A disorder that occurs when the body responses to specific antigens to produce antibodies or cell mediated responses against its own cells. |
|
|
B cells |
Lymphocytes programmed to recognize specific proteins, when activated these cells cause the production of antibodies to react with that protein
|
|
|
Calor |
Heat One of the Four cardinal signs of inflammation
|
|
|
Chemotaxis
|
Property of drawing neutrophils to an area
|
|
|
Complement Proteins |
Series of cascading proteins that react with he antigen- antibody complex to destroy the protein or stimulate an inflammatory reaction. |
|
|
Dolor |
Pain One of the cardinal signs off inflammtions |
|
|
Hageman Factor |
First activated when a blood vessel or cell in injured; starts reaction of clotting factors, activates the conversion of plasminogen that dissolves clots and activates kininn system n response to INF RES
|
|
|
interferon |
Tissue hormone that is released in response to viral invasion, blocks viral replication |
|
|
Interleukins |
Chemicals released by WBC to communicate with other WBC and to support the inflammatory response |
|
|
Kinin System |
System activated by Hageman factor as part of the INF RES, includes bradykinin
|
|
|
Lymphocytes |
WBC with large nuclei Can be T or B cells
|
|
|
Leukoctyes |
WBC can be neutrophils, basophils, or esinophils |
|
|
Macrophages |
mature leukocytes that are capable of phagocytizing an antigen (foreign protein) also called monocytes or mononuclear phagocytes
|
|
|
Major Histocompatibility Complex |
The genetic identification code carried on a chromosome; produces several proteins or antigens that allow the body to recognize cells as being cells.
|
|
|
Mast Cells |
fixed basophils found in respiratory and GI tract and skin, stimulated by local irrational
|
|
|
Myelocyltes |
Leukocyte- producing cells inn the bone marrow tat can develop into neutrophils, basophils, eosinophil's, monocytes, or macrophages
|
|
|
Phagocytes |
neutrophils that are able to engulf and digest foreign material |
|
|
Phagoctosis |
the process of engulfing and digesting foreign pyrogens
|
|
|
Pyrogen |
fever-causing substance |
|
|
Rubor |
Redness One of the four cardinal signs of inflammation
|
|
|
T Cells |
Lymphocytes programmed in the thymus gland to recognize self cells; may be effector T cells helper T cells or Suppressor cells |
|
|
Tumor |
Swelling One of the four cardinal signs of inflammation |
