CLINICAL CORRELATES UNIT 10 QUIZ
WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS {
GRADED A+}
Serous Inflammation - ✔✔Outpouring of watery, protein poor fluid that
derives from serum or mesothelial secretions. Can build up in the pleural
cavity (pleural effusion) or even in the pericardial cavity (pericardial
effusion). Virus/burn blisters are also associated with this type of acute
inflammatory response.
Fibrinous Inflammation - ✔✔Acute inflammatory response that's
associated with more severe injury and occurs within body cavities, like
the pericardium. Accompanied by increase in vascular permeability,
allowing for the leakage of fibrinogen, which accumulates
,extravascularly as insoluble fibrin. Can resolve over time or progress to
organization (angiogenesis and collagen formation lead to fibrosis).
Suppurative/Purulent Inflammation - ✔✔Acute inflammatory pattern
that is associated with the manifestation of pus, which is commonly
caused by pyogenic bacteria. Can lead to the formation of an abscess
(collections of pus) or become walled off by fibroblasts if the
inflammation becomes chronic. This type of inflammation can occur on
the face, lung, liver, ovaries, or appendix.
Ulcerative Inflammation - ✔✔Local excavation on or near a surface
that involves the sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue. Can be acute
with neutrophils and marginal vascular dilation. If it progresses to a
chronic stage, fibroblasts and chronic inflammatory cells become
involved, followed by scarring.
Exudate - ✔✔Fluid that appears cloudy and contains elevated levels of
protein and LDH. Usually caused by lymphatic obstructions, infections,
or some form of malignancy.
, Transudate - ✔✔Transparent fluid with low levels of protein and LDH.
Can be caused by an increase in hydrostatic pressure (congestive heart
failure) or due to a decrease in oncotic pressure (cirrhosis and nephrotic
syndrome).
Bradykinin - ✔✔Commonly found in bee venom and is responsible for
the vascular dilation and pain that is caused by a bee sting.
Steroids/Glucocorticoids - ✔✔Inhibits the formation of Arachidonic
Acid (AA) by blocking the phospholipases that cleave them from the
cell membrane. Helps reduce inflammation.
Aspirin/NSAID - ✔✔Inhibit cyclooxygenase, blocking off the COX
pathway and preventing the formation of prostaglandin metabolites.
Helps reduce inflammation and fever.
Tuberculosis (TB) - ✔✔Bacterial granulomatous inflammation in the
lungs caused by mycobacteria. Can lead to frequent coughing
(sometimes with blood), fatigue, fever, and chest pain. Commonly
associated with caseous necrosis.
