1). Inflammation is intended to localize and remove injurious agent(s). true or false.
Ans: True
2). What are the local signs of inflammation?
Ans: Redness
Swelling
Warmth
Pain
Sometimes immobility
Exudate
3). Causes of inflammation are: physical trauma, chemicals, ischemia, extreme temperatures,
foreign bodies, infection, and allergic reactions. true or false.
Ans: True
4). What are the systemic effects of inflammation?
Ans: mild fever (pyrexia), malaise, fatigue, headache, anorexia
5). Prish stands for
Ans: Pain
Redness
Immobility
Swelling
Heat
6). Acute inflammation

, Ans: Immediate response to an injury with a short duration
7). What is the role of bradykinin?
Ans: it is a vasodilator, increases vascular permeability (edema) and raises heart rate
also causes pain (along with prostaglandins) because the increased fluid stimulates the
nerve endings
8). What is the role of histamine?
Ans: increases the permeability of the capillaries to white blood cells and some
proteins, to allow them to engage pathogens in the infected tissues and contributes to
vasodilation.
9). What are the steps of inflammation?
Ans: 1. Wound occurs
2. Chemicals are released which cause vascular dilation and vascular permeability
3. Chemotaxis (migration of cells toward area)
4. Phagocytosis and Humoral responses
5. Tissue repair (Fibroblasts chemicals)
10). Chronic inflammation
Ans: prolonged inflammatory response
11). What is the difference between acute and chronic inflammation?
Ans: Chronic inflammation is a prolonged inflammatory response with less swelling
and exudate. There is a higher presence of lymphocytes, macrophages ,and fibroblasts.
More collagen is produced, developing scar tissue and/or keloids.
Acute inflammation is an immediate response with a shorter duration to start the healing
process.
12). Treatments for inflammation
Ans: ASA: Aspirin reduces pain, fever, and inflammation. Interferes with blood clotting
and never recommended for children (reye's syndrome).

, Acetaminophen: Tylenol reduces pain and fever, but has no affect on inflammatory
response.
NSAIDs: Ibuprofen reduces pain, fever, and inflammation.
Glucocorticoid: stabilizes vascular system, reduces leukocytes/mast cells at site, and
blocks the immune response.
RICE
13). What negative affect does glucocorticoid have?
Ans: Long term use decreases the immune response which delays healing.
14). Rice stands for
Ans: Rest injured area for 48 hrs
Ice for 20 mins, 4-8x a day
Compress to reduce swelling
Elevate injured limb 6-10 in. above heart to reduce swelling
15). Primary intention healing
Ans: Clean wound with minimal gap (sutures). Short healing period.
16). Secondary intention healing
Ans: wound in which the tissue surfaces are not approximated and there is extensive
tissue loss; long healing period.
17). Modes of transmission
Ans: Direct
Indirect
Droplet
Aerosol
Vector-borne
Nosocomal
18). Chain of infection
