another name for cell death?
Atuolysis
What is necrosis?
activating a pathway that is not pre-programmed but kills cell anyway
List the things that cause cell death
Coagulative necrosis, Liquefactive necrosis, caseous necrosis, fat necrosis gangrenous necrosis and gas
What is apatosis?
thought to be a pre-preprogrammed pathway to kill cells. Once activated, cannot be stopped.
Explain Coagulative necrosis
coagulation- denatures proteins, hypoxia is cause- happens on most cells of the body
explain liquefactive necrosis
caused by hypoxia in the central nervous system, bacterial or fungus infections. cause healthy cells to be ingested and what is left is like liquid
what is caseous necrosis
combined coagulative and liquefactive necrosis affecting mostly brain and heart
explain gangrenous necrosis
caused by hypoxia, dry gangrene-coagulative necrosis, wet gangren-liquifactive necrosis. can happen internally and externally
Explain fat necrosis
breaking down of fat or fatty acids (crucial part of cell membrane) mostly affects breast and pancreas
explain gas necrosis
affects muscle tissue caused by gas elements being released by a bacteria- causes cell death
What does the inflammatory response NOT have to include?
Immune system, inflammatory response can occur without stimulating the immune system
what are the steps of acute inflammation?
immediate response, arterioloes dialate,
edema and swelling,
blood becomes thicker
leukocytes migrate to area
accumulate cells and protein
macrophages clean site
What are the main systems of the inflammatory response?
Complement system
Clotting system
Kinin-bradykinin system
What does the complement system do?
it is the mediator made up of 10 proteins, activated by antigen/antibody complex or activated by endotoxins
What does the clotting system do?
prevents spread
keeps bad guys localized
forms clot-activated by intrinsic or extrinsic pathway
What does the Kinin-bradykinin system do?
dialates blood vessels
induces pain
contracts smooth muscle
increases permeability
What is the one enzyme that controls or activates the entire inflammatory system?
C1 esterase inhibitor, except for hereditary angioneurotic edema-very bad due to continued inflammatory response
Explain alcohol metabolism and alcoholics can have trouble
see drawing
What does degranulation mean?
releasing some chemicl mediator causing pain, drawing cells to site, dialatin blood vessels, etc.
Name the granulocytes and how prevelant they are as luekocytes
neutrophils- 55-70%
eosinophils 2-5% parasite defense
basophils <1% release histamine
Name the agranulocytes and what % they are of leukocytes
monocytes 5-8% )macrophage and monocyte- leave blood, invade tissue
Lymphocytes- B-cells and T-cells usually not active unless chronic inflammation
What are mast cells
Leukocytes that release mediators
What do the T and B cells do?
Cause Pus formation
Tissue scarring
cell infiltration
What happens in chronic inflammation?
Neutrophil degranulation
activation of T and B cells (lymphocytes)
Fibroblast activation
