L4. Inflammation and Repair

What is the main purpose of inflammation in the body?

• To cause harm to the body

• To fight against infections and injuries

• To decrease immune response

• To increase toxins in the body

Which of the following is NOT a hallmark of inflammation?

• Coldness

• Pain

• Redness

• Swelling

What are the three characteristics of microcirculation according to Julius Cohnheim?

• Dilation, Increase permeability, WBC migration

• Constriction, Increase permeability, No WBC migration

• No change, Decrease permeability, WBC migration

• Constriction, Decrease permeability, No WBC migration

How does the acute inflammatory response differ from the chronic inflammatory response?

• Chronic response is preceded by unsuccessful inflammatory response

• Acute response is characterized by dense infiltration of lymphocytes

• Chronic response is immediate unlike acute response

• Acute response lasts longer than chronic response

What is the role of neutrophils in the inflammatory response?

• Form granulomas

• Control inflammatory response

• Attack first and ingest bacteria

• Stimulate immune response

What is the main function of eosinophils in the inflammatory response?

• Control inflammatory response

• Attack parasites

• Stimulate immune response

• Form granulomas

What is the primary function of basophils in the inflammatory response?

• Attack parasites

• Stimulate immune response

• Control inflammatory response

• Form granulomas

What is the role of platelets in the inflammatory response?

• Stop bleeding if vascular injury has occurred

• Control inflammatory response

• Stimulate immune response

• Attack parasites

What happens to neutrophils after they ingest bacteria in the inflammatory response?

• They control the immune response

• They form granulomas

• They stimulate the endothelial cells

• They die and are removed as pus

What is the main characteristic of chronic inflammation?

• Decrease in vascular permeability

• Immediate response unlike acute inflammation

• Formation of granulomas

• Dense infiltration of lymphocytes and macrophages
