Patho Ch. 3 review

During the inflammation process, a fever would be an example of?

A systemic response to the inflammation process.

IN order for the cellular response to occur, which of the following processes need to take place?

Cellular migration, cellular adherence, chemotaxis.

Katelynn asks what she can do to help the abrasions heal faster. All of the following are important factors in wound healing except: Integrity of the vascular and cellular inflammatory responses, reformation of the extracellular matrix, regeneration of those cells capable of mitosis, decreased protein synthesis.

Decreased protein synthesis.

A patient is diagnosed with achilles tendonitis. what would you expect to be the clinical manifestations of this condition given what you know about acute inflammation?

Heel pain, swelling, limited range of motion

You are caring for Andrew, a 5 year old boy in the emergency department. He has a sliver in his right index finger that has been present for 2 days. Andrew refused to let his mother remove the sliver and now the tissue around the sliver is red, warm, and swollen. What is the most likely cause of the warmth and welling?

Increased blood flow to the area due to vasodilation.

which of the following best describes the inflammatory process in relation to an acute injury?

Increased vascular permeability, dilation of vessels, and leukocyte attraction to the site of the injury.

You know that the most important roles for chemical mediators are to?

Induce vasodilation and increase capillary permeability.

Ulcerative colitis is found in the?

Large intestine

A patient is diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. She has more than four bowel movements per day but no fever, weakness, fatigue, or other systemic manifestations. Her disease would be classified as?

Moderate

Cells that play a role in phagocytosis include?

Neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages.

The inflammation process must prepare the site of injury for healing. This includes cleaning up the debris (dead and impaired tissue) at the site. This process of engulfing and digesting impaired tissue is called?

Phagocytosis

The primary signs and symptoms of acute inflammation include all of the following except: redness and heat, swelling, pain and loss of function.

Redness and heat, swelling, pain and loss of function.

A major aspect of treatment for inflammatory conditions is?

Removal of the source of injury when possible.

Chronic inflammation differs from acute inflammation because it?

Represents a persistent or recurrent state of inflammation lasting several weeks or longer

Katelynn, a 13 year old female, is accompanied to the emergency department by her mother. Katelynn hit a tree with her fourwheeler and has large abrasions on her right knee and forehead. Her mother asks if Katelynn will need "stitches". you know that this type of wound will most likely heal by?

Secondary intenetion

A major difference between Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis is the presence of ? in Crohn disease.

Skip lesions

Acute inflammation occurs in response to?

Tissue injury

The preferred outcome from the inflammation process is?

Tissue repair or regeneration.

Inflammation is a process that includes the following?

Vascular and cellular responses, the formation of exudates, preparation for tissue formation.

During the inflammation process, the vascular response triggers the following changes at the site of the injury except?

Vasoconstriction.
