A process of ingestion & digestion by cells: |
Phagocytosis |

Bulla |
|
A collection of pus that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue: |
Abscess |
|
The passage of the WBCs through the endothelium and wall of the microcirculation into injured tissue: |
Emigration |
|

Macrophage |
|
The 1st WBC to arrive at the site of injury: |
Neutrophil |
|
A non-specific response to injury that involves the microcirculation and its blood cells: |

Sialolith |
|
Redness of the skin or mucosa: |
Erythema |
|
Name the 5 Cardinal (classic) signs of inflammation: |
1- Redness 2- Heat 3- Swelling 4- Pain 5- Loss of normal tissue function |
|
What is the difference between acute & chronic? |
Acute: injury minimal, brief, source removed from tissue, short inflammatory response. Chronic: injury continues, longer inflammatory response. |
|
What is the difference between local & systemic inflammatory factors? |
Local: limited to the area of injury Systemic: affects the body as a whole |
|
What is the difference between neutrophil & macrophage? |
Neutrophil: 1st type of WBC to arrive at the site of injury (phagocytosis) Macrophage: 2nd type of WBC to arrive at the site of injury (within the tissue) |
|
Which healing intention is described as the healing of an injury in which little loss of tissue takes place, such as in a surgical incision; very little granulation tissue forms: |
Healing by Primary Intention |
|
Which healing intention is described as injury in which tissue is lost; thus the injury cannot be joined during healing, creating a large clot to slowly form; increased formation of granulation tissue: |
Healing by Secondary Intention |
|
Which healing intention is described as an infection occurring at the site of a surgical incision that is healing by primary intention? |
Healing by Tertiary Intention |
|
Name 4 Systemic Signs of Inflammation: |
1- Fever 2- Increase in number of WBC's (leukocytosis) 3- Enlargement of Lymph Nodes (lympadenopathy) 4- Elevated c-reactive protein |
|
Which 3 events occur in the microscopic events of the inflammatory response? |
1- Hyperemia 2- Exudate formation 3- Pressure on nerves by exudate formation |
|
What is the difference between hyperplasia & hypertrophy? |
Hyperplasia: increase in number of cells in tissue or organ Hypertrophy: increase in the size of individual cells, not the number |
