Cards

Term

Name the chronic inflammatory diseases

What are systemic disorder

Definition

1. Tuberculosis

2. Ulcer

3. COPD

4. abcesses

5. cancer

Systemic disorders are fever and sepsis.

Term
What bacteria and virus activate to alert body to danger?
Definition
Toll-like receptors (TLRs)
Term
What are the types of the cell walls?
Definition

There are three types of cell walls.

1. Gram negative

2. Gram positive

3. Mycobacteria

Term
Which organ makes all the pro-coagulation factors? What is true about these factors?
Definition
Liver makes all the co-agulation factors. These are proteolytic enzymes and self cleave themselves.
Term
What is PFkB
Definition
It is an important transcription factor involved in inflammatory response.
Term
How platelets work and what activated platelets secrete?
Definition
Platelets are flat and after collagen of the damaged cell is exposed, the adapt different shapes and form platelet plug. The platelets secrete ADP.
Term
Describe the factors that make clotting stronger?
Definition
Fibrin makes dimer and multimers which covalently bond to make a clott by combining with platelet plug.
Term
What is first step in blood clotting?
Definition
The blood flow alters. The blood flow need to accumulate at the site of inflammation.
Term
what is chemotaxis
Definition

 


 

Term
How the white cells move and stick?
Definition
the cells move along the endothelial and squeeze through a gap to get to the inflammation. The cells undergoes adhesion and migration. Have different adhesion proteins which work different from cell to cell.
Term
What is opsonin? What are two types of opsinon?
Definition

Opsonin are protein which coat bacteria which white blood cells recognize and eat the em.

the two types are opsonin are

1. Fc Fragment of immunoglobulin (IgG)

2. Complimentary Protein C3b

Term
What does NADPH do?
Definition
It forms oxygen radical, it converts oxygen to superoxide, peroxide and radical oxide.
Term
Function of macrophage
Definition

phagocytosis of bacteria

Formation of clotting factor, growth factor

Produce inflammatory mediators

initiation of immune response

induction of common factors i.e fever

clean up operation (scavenging)

Term
what are types of mediators of inflammation
Definition
Cellular and blood bourne mediators
Term
What are cellular mediators
Definition
These are preformed mediators including histamin, and seratonin. 
Term
What are eicosonides
Definition

newly formed mediators

Comprise of PGs, leukotrienes, and thromboxane

derived from neutrophils and macrophages

Term
What are cytokines?
Definition
Mostly glycoprotein or polypeptides and attribute to altered gene expression in target cells.
Term
Explain JAK/STAT mechanism
Definition
JAK is protein which undergoes phosphorylation. JAK kinase autophosphrylate each other. Similar to EGF. STAT protein recognize JAK proteins and phosphorylates them. Intercellular signaling for cytokines.
