GNUR 293 Pathophysiology FINAL EXAM
Liquefactive necrosis - ANS-From bacterial infection, ischemia
Affects brain tissue

Coagulative necrosis - ANS-From hypoxia
Causes proteins to degranulate and become gelatinous
Affects kidneys, heart, adrenal system

Caseous necrosis - ANS-From TB
Combination of coagulative + liquefactive
Affects lungs
Walled off by granuloma

Fat necrosis - ANS-From enzymes that dissolves cells
Affects breasts, pancreas, any organs with fat

Gangrenous necrosis - ANS-From severe ischemia/hypoxia
Dry = coagulative necrosis
Wet = liquefactive necrosis (causes internal organs to be black, cool, swollen, and foul
smelling)
Gas = clostridium infection

Reperfusion injury - ANS-Sudden restoration of blood supply creates ROS

Lines of defense - ANS-Barriers, inflammation, adaptive immunity

Phagocytes originate in - ANS-bone marrow

Monocytes originate in - ANS-bone marrow

When do neutrophils arrive on site? - ANS-6-12hrs

When do macrophages arrive on site? - ANS-3-7 days
May proliferate on site
Live for a long time

Mast cells - ANS-initiate inflammation

,Mast cells release - ANS-histamine

NK cells - ANS-Adaptive immunity
Can recognize and eliminate cells infected by viruses

Acute inflammatory response - ANS-Mast cells release histamine
Vasodilation causes redness and heat
Vascular permeability
Stimulation of nerve endings = pain

Cytokines - ANS-Call in the troops!
TNF - induces fever and muscle weakness

Chemokines - ANS-Induce WBC chemotaxis
Produced by macrophages and endothelial cells
Tell the cells where to go

Leukotrienes - ANS-Similar to histamines
Produce a longer-acting response

Prostaglandins - ANS-Released by mast cells
FEVER AND PAIN

Complement system - ANS-Destroys pathogens
Osponization
Increases phagocytosis

Osponization - ANS-Paints bad cells so phagocytes know to eat it

Coagulation system - ANS-Forms fibrous mesh
Thrombin, fibrinogen, fibrin
Begins with vessel injury

Kinin system - ANS-Activates and assists inflammatory cells
Bradykinin

Bradykinin - ANS-Causes blood vessel dilation and pain

Events in inflammation - ANS-Vascular permeability
Emigration of leukocytes

, Phagocytosis

Diapedesis - ANS-Neutrophils and monocytes migrate through wall to site

Left shift - ANS-Acute inflammation

Right shift - ANS-Chronic inflammation
At risk for anemia (pernicious anemia)

Lower the ANC number means - ANS-higher risk of infection

Chronic inflammation - ANS-Lymphocyte activation
Formation of scar tissue
May develop without prior acute inflammation

Hydrostatic - ANS-Push

Osmotic/oncotic - ANS-Pull

Capillary hydrostatic pressure - ANS-Water pushed out of capillaries

Interstitial hydrostatic pressure - ANS-Water pushed out of interstitial space

Capillary osmotic pressure - ANS-Water pulled into capillaries

Interstitial osmotic pressure - ANS-Water pulled into interstitial spaces

Forces favoring filtration - ANS-Capillary hydrostatic pressure
Interstitial osmotic pressure

Forces against filtration - ANS-Capillary osmotic pressure
Interstitial hydrostatic pressure

Hypoalbuminemia - ANS-Decreased osmolality
Water leaves blood/capillary and goes into interstitial space = edema

Hyperalbuminemia - ANS-Increased osmolality
Caused by dehydration + accompanying symptoms

Isotonic solution - ANS-0.9% saline
