Inflammation

Front 1

What factor induces PMN activity

Back 1

Interleukin 8

Front 2

What environment do PMN cells prefer for optimum functioning

Back 2

Alkaline pH

Front 3

Functions of the compliment system

Back 3

1. induces histamine production by mast cells

2. opsinization

3. Anaphylatoxins

4. PMN chemotaxis

5. Cell lysis

Front 4

PMN cells function by

Back 4

phagocytosis and lysozomal digestion

Front 5

eosinophilic response

Back 5

To parasitic infections or allergic reaction

by elaborating toxiclysosomal components (e.g., eosinophil peroxidase)and generate reactive oxygen metabolites.

Front 6

types of exudates

Back 6

serous (high protein), fibrinous (fibrin), Purulent (PMN), sanguineous (erythrocytes)

Front 7

granulation tissue is composed of :

Back 7

leukocytes, fibroblasts and proliferating blood vessels

Front 8

Chronic nongranulomatous inflammation

Back 8

is a proliferative inflammation characterized by a cellular infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells (and sometimes PMNs or eosinophils)

Front 9

Differentiate between hyperplasia and neoplasia

Back 9

hyperplasia - growth evetually reaches an equilibrium and is never indefinitely progressive

neoplasia - growth is unregulated

1. coagulation necrosis

2. haemorrhagic necrosis

3. Liquefaction necrosis

4. Fat necrosis

Front 11

Back 11

oculocutaneous albinism and frequent infections
