Document Summary
Inflammation: define and describe inflammation, explain the vascular events that take place in the capillary bed during an acute inflammatory process, describe abnormal permeability at the microcirculation during acute inflammation (in contrast to normal). Give examples for each type: define granuloma. Give three common etiologies: classify inflammatory exudates. Give examples: define abscess, empyema and additional special forms of inflammation, list at least two systemic effects of inflammation. Responsible for mediating vascular and cellular responses in inflammation: chemotaxis - phenomenon that guides and attracts wbcs to the site of injury. ***also review the terms used to classify inflammatory exudates based on type and location*** Definition of inflammation: whenever tissues are injured, e. g. cut, burned, or infected by a microorganism - a series of reactions will occur at the site of injury. It is perhaps best described as being the characteristic response of living tissues to an injury.
