Cellular injury - Answer✔What precipitates the inflammatory process?
Mast cell degranulation, activation of the coagulation cascade, activation of the kinin cascade,
release of chemotactic factors, and the activation of the complement cascade - Answer✔What
are the first 5 steps of the inflammatory process?
Functions include bacterial lysis, vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, triggers mast
cell degranulation, chemotaxis, and opsonization - Answer✔What is the function of
complement?
Bradykinin - Answer✔What is kinin turned into?
Pain, chemotaxis, and increased vascular permeability and vasodilation - Answer✔What is
bradykinin responsible for?
Kinin system - Answer✔What system does the coagulation cascade have a role in activating?
Factor XII (Hageman factor) - Answer✔What factor activates kinin?
To form fibrin mesh to stop bleeding and to trap microorganisms - Answer✔What is the function
of the coagulation cascade in the inflammatory process?
Activates complement and kinin system - Answer✔What does the plasmin in the coagulation
cascade do?
Neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes - Answer✔What do released chemotactic factors attract?
6-8 hours - Answer✔How soon do neutrophils show up at the site of injury?
1-7 days - Answer✔How soon do monocytes show up at the site of the injury?
Phagocytosis - Answer✔What are neutrophils and monocytes responsible for at the site of
injury?
