answer
Aggranulocytes (MPS) wandering and fixed macrophages that developed from monocytes.  Phagocytic against microbes as infection progresses and against worn out blood cells as infection subsides

prostalandins

question
Chemotactic factors
answer

chemical trails for a macrophage

fiber, collogen, mast cells, bacterial peptides.

question
Vasodialation and chemotactic factors
answer

compliment C5a and C3a

interferons

Interleukins

Leukotrienens

Platelet secretions

question
How does inflamation work
answer

bacteria enter body via a path

Chemicals such as histamines, kinins, prostaglandins, and leukotrines are released by damaged cells

clot forms

abscess forms

margination- phagocytes stick to the endotherlium

emigration- phagocytes squeeze between endothelial cells.

phagocytosis of invading bacteria

question
margination
answer
phagocytes stick to endothelium
question
emegration
answer
phagocytes squeeze between endothelial cells
question
Diapediesis
answer

emigration- phagocytes squeeze inbetween endothelial cells

margination- phagocytes stick to the endothelium

question
Fever
answer

abnormaly high body temperature

hypothalmus is normally set to 37degrees

Gram negative endotoxin causes phagocytes to release interleuken 1

hypothalmus releases protaglandins that reset the hypothalmus to a higher temperature

Body increases rate of metabolism and shivering to raise temperature

when IL-1 is eliminated body temperature falls(crisis)

question
Pyrogen
answer

chemical that triggers the hypothalmic "theromostat" to reset at a higher temperature inducing fever.

endogenerous- inside cell

exogenous- outside the cell.

question
Pyrogenic Responce
answer

macrophage ingests a few Gram negative bacterium

The Bacterium is degraded in the vacule, releasing endotoxins that induce the macrophages to produce IL1

IL1 is released by a macrophage into the bloodstream through which it travels to the hypothalmus of the brain.

IL1 induces the hypothalmus to produce prostaglandins, which reset the body's thermostat to a higher temerature producing fever.

question
Classical pathway
answer

question
Alternative Pathway
answer
[image]
question
Lectin Pathway
answer
question
The compliment system
answer

a set of serum protiens. these protiens initially act as opsinins and chemotactic factors, and indirectally trigger inflamation and fever.; the end result of full activation is lysis of foriegn cell.

serum protiens activatied in a cascade

enzymes convert protiens form one form to another

classical, alternative, lectin

question
effects of the compliment system
answer

opsonization of immune adherance enhancing phagocytosis.

membrane attack complex formation causing cytololysis= osmotic lysis

Inflamation attracts phagocytes

question
Interferons
answer
protien molecules that inhibit the spread of a virus
question
Alpha Interferons (INFs)
answer
causes cells to produce antiviral protiens (AVPs) that inhibit viral replication
question
Gamma INF
answer
causes neutrophils and macrophages to phagotize bacteria.
