What cells infiltrate with chronic inflammation?

A

Monocytes/Macrophages and Lymphocytes

5
Q

Dominant cell with chronic inflammation?

A

MACROPHAGES

6
Q

Where are macrophages derived from?

A

Hematopoietic stem cells of bone marrow postnatally

7
Q

Macrophages circulating in blood are called?

A

Monocytes

8

Skin macrophages are called?

A

Langerhans cells

11
Q

2 pathways for macrophage activation?

A

M1 - classical

M2 - alternative

12
Q

What stimulates the M1 activation pathway?

A

IFNgamma

13
Q

What stimulates the M2 activation pathway?

A

IL-13 and IL-4

14
Q

What do M1 macrophages release?

A

ROS, NO, lysosomal enzymes

IL-1, IL-12, chemokines

15
Q

What do M1 macrophages cause to happen?

A

Phagocytosis

Inflammation

16
Q

What do M2 macrophages release?

A

IL-10

TGF-beta

17
Q

What do M2 macrophages cause to happen?

A

Anti-inflammatory effects

Tissue repair

18
Q

What cells amplify chronic inflammation due to generation of memory cells?

A

T and B Lymphocytes

19
Q

In what reactions are eosinophils abundant?

A

IgE and Parasitic

20
Q

Eosinophilic granules release a major basic protein. List 1 good and 1 bad effect.

A
Good = kills parasites
Bad = damages epithelial cells
21
Q

Granulomatous Inflammation is a type of _____ inflammation

A

Chronic

22
Q

Granulomatous Inflammation is characterized by collections of what 2 cell types?

A

Macrophages

T lymphocytes

23
Q

Granulomatous Inflammation has a central area of?

A

Necrosis

24
Q

What is an example of a Granulomatous Inflammation?

A

Tuberculosis

25
Q

3 things involved in the Acute Phase Response (systemic effects of inflammation)?

A

Fever
Acute Phase Reactants
Leukocytosis

26
Q

What is Leukocytosis?

A

Increased production of leukocytes

  • Can see more immature neutrophils “left shift”
  • Seen in an Acute Phase response (systemic effects of inflammation)
27
Q

What are 3 Acute Phase Reactants?

A
  1. C reactive protein
  2. Fibrinogen
  3. Serum Amyloid Associated Protein (AA)
28
Q

C reactive protein and AA are both aid in clearing?

A

Clearing necrotic debris

29
Q

C reactive protein and fibrinogen are both stimulated by?

A

IL-6

30
Q

Increased Fibrinogen causes what to form?

A

Rouleaux = RBC stacking

31

A

Neutrophils

34

Viral infections have increased?

A

Lymphocytes

35
Q

Allergies and parasites have increased?

A

Eosinophils

36
Q

Tissue repair occurs by what 2 processes?

A
