chemical mediators
Immune -
Cytokine IFN-gamma
Lymphocytes (B, T, memory) produce ___ (cytokine) to activate macrophages to produce ___
Lymphocytes produce IFN-gamma to activate macrophages to produce monokines
Plasma cells secrete antibodies against 2 things
Persistant antigens/irritants
Altered tissue components
2 mononuclear cell types that participate in certain immune inflammatory reactions... typically associated with allergens
eosinophils, mast cells
In images of CLASSIC, CHRONIC inflammation, _____ cells will be most evident.
Mononuclear
____ cells like to live around blood vessels
Plasma cells like to live around bvs
Salphingitis
Inflammation of rugue folds of salphinx
If something has both acute and chronic inflammation it is called:
Chronic active inflammation
Acute inflammation is indicated by what kind of cells?
Neutrophils
FOREIGN-BODY GIANT CELLS are seen in response to _____ ______ matter
Particulate, foreign matter
Macrophages fuse together to form a ____ in a FBGCR to ingest small, engulfable particles
Syncitium
FOREIGN-BODY GIANT CELLS is a granulomatous reaction
T/F
False - NOT granulomatous! It is a classic
Little white lumps – can be one of 3 things:
Tuberculosis
Cancer
Pancreatitis
Quandrants – multease crosses
2 things cause them:
-Lump of cholesterol (seen in urine of people leaking lipids)

-Starch (surgeons gloves)
4 types of Granulomata
Foreign Body (ingestible material)
Non-caseating (Sarcoidoisis)
Caseating (Tubercle bacilli, Histoplasma, Coccidiodomycosis)
Necrotizing (Cat-scratch, Tularemia, LGV, Brucellosis)
If the ______ can’t take care of the intruder (poorly soluble or particle material) then the next stage might be recruitment of more and more ___________.
Don’t form more giant cells, they come in and form a _____ around the arena.
This is called a _______
FBGC
macrophages
collar
granuloma
Foreign Body Granuloma. ___ presents particles to T-cells. T-lymphocytes activated, produce cytokines as follows:
___ activates other lymphocytes (perpetuation)
___ transforms Møs into:
- multinucleated giant cells (e.g., Langhans)
- epithelioid forms
Macrophages
IL-2
IFN-gamma
IFN-gamma transforms Møs into 2 different cell types
1) multinucleated giant cells (e.g., Langhans)
2) epithelioid forms
Granuloma is made up of a few components:
A cluster of _____ is generally discrete and round/oval
A few scattered ________
May or may not have ____-_____ macrophages (not necessary)
macrophages
lymphocytes
multi-nucleated (giant cells)
Visual evidence of macrophages is a large _______ distance compared to Lymphocytes. This is due to wide cytoplasm.
Internuclear
A sinus forms when there is chronic inflammation. Communication between two sinus epithelial surfaces is called a _____
Fistula
same chronic inflammation in both
between 2 loops of bowel, between bowel and skin, etc
Non-caseating granulomata (no white gunk) are typically:
Sarcoidosis
A round cytoplasmic inclusion composed of amorphous material. Present in the giant cells of sarcoidosis, in beryllium lesions, and sometimes in other giant cells.
Schaumann's body
Caseating granulomata have a collar of _____, few residual nuclei in the middle, eventually becomes _________ where the caseation is
Macrophages
Homogenous
Granuloma all over the body is called _____ granulomata
Miliary
Cat-scratch*
Tularemia
LGV
Brucellosis
all types of ________ granulomata
Necrotizing
"Triple zone" is a synonym for a _________ granuloma
Necrotizing
In a necrotizing granuloma what are the cell types in...
Zone 1 (center):
Zone 2:
Zone 3:
PMNs
Macrophages (histeocytes)
Lymphocytes
Necrotizing stuff like karyorrhexis fragments, picnotic nuclei, apoptotic cells can be found along with ______ (cell type) in ZONE _ of necrotizing granulomata?
Neutrophils
Zone 1
In what type of granuloma would you find the fusion of several granulomata
Stellate granulomata (necrotizing)
The first line of defense for bacterium to get through is:
Neutrophils
If PMNs fail (neutropenias, chemo, leukemia) the second line of defense is:
Monocyte/Macrophage
If bacteria gets away from the arena, it heads towards the third line of defense:
