M13

• Refers to swelling as a result of inflammation

  • Edema
• Type of inflammation occurs at the site of an injury or infection

  • Acute
• The following cell is a granulocyte

  • Eosinophil
• host defense mechanism is an army consisting of how many lines of defense

  • Three
• Is not a consequence of activation of the complement system

  • Repair of damaged tissue
• is not the primary purpose of inflammatory response

  • To stimulate the production of opsonins
• Involves immune mechanism that are reaction to the same microbe at a later date

  • Innate immunity
• It includes barriers to the entry of microbes or process that remove microbes from the body surface

  • Physical factors
• Substance produced by the body that inhibit microbial growth

  • Chemical factor
• Destroys bacterial cell walls by degrading peptidoglycan

  • Lysozymes
• Protein that binds to iron

  • Lactoferrin
• Enzyme that produces superoxide radical, which are highly reactive forms of oxygen, which are toxic to bacteria

  • Lactoperoxidase
• Low MW proteins secreted by various cell type, resulting in gaps or pores

  • Defensins
• live microbial cultures

  • Probiotics
• Are chemicals that selectively promote the growth of beneficial bacteria

  • Prebiotics
• Have the ability to leave the blood, enter an infected tissue , and destroy microbes and foreign particles. AKA polymorphs/ polymorphonuclear leukocytes

  • Neutrophils
• Stain blue purple with the basic dye methylene blue

  • Basophils
• Stain red or orange in acidic dye eosin

  • Eosinophils
• presence of large granules in their cytoplasm that can be seen with a light microscope after staining

  • Granulocytes
• have granules in their cytoplasm, but the granules are not visible under the light microscope after staining

  • Agrabulocytes
• believed to be derived from the same precursor cells as monocytes

  • Dendritic cell
• Spherical nuclie; are not phagocytic but play a key role in specific immunity

  • Lymphocyctes
• Pain: due to release of certain chemicals

  Redness: because more blood goes to he affected area

  Immobility: results from local of function in severe inflammations

  Swelling: caused by an accumulation of fluids

  Heat: due to an increase in blood flor to the affected area
