(blank) is a component of the innate immune response to pathogenic microorganisms, tissue injury, physical and chemical insults.
Inflammation
What would happen if you didnt have inflammation?
pathogenic microbes would overwhelm us and injured tissue would never heal
Why is it important to understand inflammation?
because it sometimes is inappropriately triggered or poorly controlled and is thus the cause of tissue injury in many disorders
what are the five cardinal signals of inflammation?
redness, swelling, heat, pain, loss of function.
Is inflammation a disease?
no, it is a nonspecific response that can be both protective and harmful to the host
Do leukocytes crawl out of arteries or veins?
VEINS!
(blank) creates almost all cell types that are involved in the immune system.
bone marrow
The bone marrow gives rise to 2 lineages, what are they?
the myeloid and lymphoid line
the myeloid cells leave the bone marrow to become (blank)
granulocytes
What are the 2 most important granulocytes?
neutrophils and monocytes
Where do macrophages come from?
monocytes :)
What lineage do these cells come from:
neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, mast cell precursors, macrophages, mast cells, dendritic cells
myeloid lineage
What lineage do these cells come from:
B cells, T cells, NK cells, plasma cells
lymphoid lineage
What is Dr. Hunters favorite cell?
macrophage
Where are mast cells found?
everywhere (blood and tissues)
What 2 cells can recognize cell and tissue injury and can directly recognize microbes because they have fancy receptors?
mast cells and macrophages
What does this:
elimination of microbes, dead tissue
source of mediators (cytokines, others)
role in immune response
macrophages
What do polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) do?
eliminate microbes and dead tissue
What are these:
complement; mediators of inflammation, elimination of microbes
clotting factors and kininogens; mediators of inflammation
Plasma proteins
What cells release NO, cytokines and other mediators?
endothelial cells
Walk me through a splinter in the hand
splinter goes in hand-> causes trauma and carries some microbes into the skin-> macrophages and mast cells recognize the components of tissue damage and microbes and orchestrate the process of inflammation. The macrophage is the orchestrator and releases mediators that causes all sorts of changes. The ultimate goal is to get a variety of hematopoietic cells (we primarily want neutrophils) and increased blood flow.
(blank) of inflammation can be exogenous signals (e.g. pathogens and toxins) or endogenous signals (e.g. ATP or urate crystals) that report on tissue stress, injury, or malfunction (“danger signals”)
inducers
(blank), such as tissue-resident macrophages and mast cells, detect inducers with specific receptors and respond by producing specific inflammatory mediatiors.
sensor cells
(blank) act on target tissues and alter their functional states, promoting elimination of the inducers, adaptation to the noxious state, and restoration of tissue homeostasis.
