interferons

Interleukins

Leukotrienens

Platelet secretions

Term
How does inflamation work
Definition

bacteria enter body via a path

Chemicals such as histamines, kinins, prostaglandins, and leukotrines are released by damaged cells

clot forms

abscess forms

margination- phagocytes stick to the endotherlium

emigration- phagocytes squeeze between endothelial cells.

phagocytosis of invading bacteria

Term
margination
Definition
phagocytes stick to endothelium
Term
emegration
Definition
phagocytes squeeze between endothelial cells
Term
Diapediesis
Definition

emigration- phagocytes squeeze inbetween endothelial cells

margination- phagocytes stick to the endothelium

Term
Fever
Definition

abnormaly high body temperature

hypothalmus is normally set to 37degrees

Gram negative endotoxin causes phagocytes to release interleuken 1

hypothalmus releases protaglandins that reset the hypothalmus to a higher temperature

Body increases rate of metabolism and shivering to raise temperature

when IL-1 is eliminated body temperature falls(crisis)

Term
Pyrogen
Definition

chemical that triggers the hypothalmic "theromostat" to reset at a higher temperature inducing fever.

endogenerous- inside cell

exogenous- outside the cell.

Term
Pyrogenic Responce
Definition

macrophage ingests a few Gram negative bacterium

The Bacterium is degraded in the vacule, releasing endotoxins that induce the macrophages to produce IL1

IL1 is released by a macrophage into the bloodstream through which it travels to the hypothalmus of the brain.

IL1 induces the hypothalmus to produce prostaglandins, which reset the body's thermostat to a higher temerature producing fever.

Term
Classical pathway
Definition

Term
Alternative Pathway
Definition
[image]
Term
Lectin Pathway
Definition
Term
The compliment system
Definition

a set of serum protiens. these protiens initially act as opsinins and chemotactic factors, and indirectally trigger inflamation and fever.  the end result of full activation is lysis of foriegn cell.

serum protiens activatied in a cascade

enzymes convert protiens form one form to another

classical, alternative, lectin

Term
effects of the compliment system
Definition

opsonization of immune adherance enhancing phagocytosis.

membrane attack complex formation causing cytololysis= osmotic lysis

Inflamation attracts phagocytes

Term
Interferons
Definition
protien molecules that inhibit the spread of a virus
Term
Alpha Interferons (INFs)
Definition
causes cells to produce antiviral protiens (AVPs) that inhibit viral replication
Term
Gamma INF
Definition
causes neutrophils and macrophages to phagotize bacteria.
