Save
is the process by which a cell—often a phagocyte or a
Phagocytosis protist—engulfs a solid particle to form an internal
compartment known as a phagosome.
Define:
Chronic inflammation is inflammation of prolonged
duration in which continuing inflammation, tissue
injury, and healing, often by fibrosis, proceed
simultaneously
Chronic Inflammation Characterized by:
Infiltration with mononuclear cells (macrophages,
lymphocytes & plasma cells)
Tissue destruction (induced by products of
inflammatory cells)
Repair (involving new vessel proliferation
(angiogenesis) and fibrosis
(NETs) are made of processed chromatin bound to
Neutrophil extracellular granular and selected cytoplasmic proteins. NETs are
traps released by white blood cells called neutrophils,
maybe as a last resort, to control microbial infections
The major cell types that tissue macrophages
produce mediators of dendritic cells
acute inflammation mast cells
2 major vasoactive amines Histamine
are serotonin
,A nurse recalls that A. Macrophages
monocytes are blood
cells that mature
(differentiate) into:
A. Macrophages
B. Neutrophils
C. Eosinophils
D. Mast cells
While planning care for a D. Neutrophil
patient with inflammation,
which principle will the
nurse remember? The
predominate phagocyte
of early inflammation is
the:
A. Eosinophil
B. Lymphocyte
C. Macrophage
D. Neutrophil
While reviewing lab C. Erythrocytes
results, the nurse recalls
the most abundant cells in
the blood are:
A. Leukocytes
B. Lymphocytes
C. Erythrocytes
D. Thrombocytes
Which electrolyte will the D. Calcium
nurse check to ensure
normal platelet
functioning?
A. Sodium
B. Potassium
C. Magnesium
D. Calcium
,Fibrinolysis is mediated C. Plasmin
by:
A. Heparin
B. Fibrinogen
C. Plasmin
D. Albumin
38-year-old man has had
headaches and nausea for
the past 2 months.
Laboratory findings show
hypercalcemia and
hypophosphatemia and
normal serum albumin.
Urine microscopic analysis
shows deposition of
calcium salts in the renal
tubular epithelium. Which
of the following processes
has most likely produced
this change in the kidney?
A, Dystrophic calcification
B. Renal tubular atrophy
C. Autophagocytosis
d. Metastatic calcification
e. Cellular aging
, An experiment introduces B. BCL-2
a "knockout" gene
mutation into a cell line.
The frequency of cell
karyorrhexis and
cytoplasmic fragmentation
is increased, compared
with a cell line without the
mutation. Overall survival
of the mutant cell line is
reduced. Which of the
following genes is most
likely to be affected by
this mutation?
A. BAX
B. BCL-2
C. C-MYC
D. FAS
E. TP53
