Classic Signs of Inflammation
|
Redness (Erythema)
Swelling Heat Pain Loss of Function |
|
Inflammatory Response:
Order of Appearance of Cells in Inflammatory Response |
Neutrophils first
Monocytes Second that turn into Macrophages Lymphocytes and Plasma Cells Eosinophils and Mast Cells |
|
Main Function of Neutrophils
|
First WBC at the site of injury.
Phagocytosis of substances such as pathogenic microorganisms and tissue debris. Neutrophil dies shortly after phagocytosis. |
|
Main Function of Monocytes
|
Second WBC at site of injury.
Transforms into Macrophage as it enters the tissue inflammation. Responds to chemotactic factor. Mobile, phagocytizes, has lysosomal enzymes in cytoplasm. |
|
Main Function of Mast Cell
|
They release histamine when allergens are encountered.
|
|
Main Function of Memory Cells
|
Produced from B-lymphocytes.
Retains the memory of previously encountered antigen and will clone itself in the presence of antigen |
|
Main Function of Plasma Cells
|
Produced by B-lymphocytes
Produce specific antibodies to match specific antigen. Become active on second exposure to same antigen. |
|
Main Function of B-Lymphocytes
|
They produce Plasma cells which produce antibodies.
Humoral Immunity |
|
Main Function of Natural Killer Cells
|
They target tumor cells, cancer cells and infected cells.
|
|
Main Function of T-Lymphocytes
|
These engage in the cell to cell combat.
They stimulate the mature T-cells and the Killer Cells. There are 3 subcategories: T-Helper T-Killer T-Suppresor |
|
Inflammation v Immune Response:
Appearance of Difference Cells |
Inflammation:
Neutrophils, Monocytes, Macrophages, Mast & Eosinophil Immune: Macrophages Lymphocytes: T: T-Killer, T-Helper, T-Suppressor, & Memory Natural Killer Cells B: Plasma, Memory |
