true
false
How many cardinal signs are associated with the inflammatory response?
1
2
3

5
The inflammatory process begins when the injured cells release substances into the surrounding tissue environment.
true
false
What is a chemical mediator in the inflammatory response?
A chemical that can turn up or turn down the inflammatory response when released.
A chemical that can only turn up the inflammatory response when released.
A chemical that turns down the inflammatory response when released.
Which of the following is not an important chemical mediator in the inflammatory response?
prostaglandins
histamine
substance P
insulin
What is the name of the leukocyte that arrives first, from the blood to the tissue site, following the initiation of the inflammatory response?
monocytes
eosinophils
neutrophils
What is produced when our cell's phospholipid bilayer is damaged?
citric acid
arachidonic acid
Arachidonic acid is converted to _________ by the enzyme called _________.
histamine, BOX
prostaglandins, COX
NSAIDs work by inhibiting which enzyme?
BOX
COX
POX
The COX enzyme is a catalyst for the production of
histamine
COX2
protaglandins
Where are mast cells found?
in all of our tissues
only in our arms
only in our brains
What do mast cells release when they degranulate?
oxygen
histamine
bradykinins
How does prostaglandin affect our nocioceptors?
it causes them to fire and send action potentials
it causes them to not fire and reduce the number of action potentials that they transmit
What does histamine do?
causes vasodilation in the area in which it is released
causes vasocontriction in the area in which it is released
Histamine increases vascular permeability, what does this mean?
The cells that make up our blood vessels move apart from each other to let molecules in our blood to enter the injured tissue site.
The cells that make up our blood vessels come closer to together to stop molecules in our blood from entering the injured tissue site.
Which of these causes redness cardinal sign of inflammation?
vasoconstriction in the area (less red blood cells present)
vasodilation in the area (more red blood cells present)
Which of these causes the cardinal sign of warmth in inflammation?
vasoconstriction in the area (less blood going to the area)
vasodilation in the area (less blood going into the area)
vasodilation in the area (more blood going into the area)
Which of these causes the cardinal sign of swelling in inflammation?
the increased vascular permeability allows plasma to move from the blood and into the tissue which causes it to swell
the increased vascular permeability allows plasma to move from the tissue and into the blood which causes it to swell
Which of these causes the cardinal sign of pain in inflammation?
the release of prostaglandins which aggravates our nocioceptors causing them to fire action potentials which results in pain
the release of histamine which aggravates our nocioceptors causing them to fire action potentials which results in the loss of pain
Which of these causes the cardinal sign of "loss of function" in inflammation?
the pain and the swelling
the redness and warmth
What is the term used for clearing out a damaged site after an injury?
Platelet Plug formation
Vascular Spasm
Phagocytosis
White blood cell synthesis
Which of the following chemicals make capillaries more permeable?
Histamine
Heparine
If histamine is present then the blood vessels become more......
Smooth
Turgid
Permeable
Tacky
Which is not a characteristic of inflammation?
increased temperature
redness
loss of function
bluish discoloration
Why would the body benefit from vasodilation as part of its recovery?
Increased blood flow allows delivery of nutrients and blood cells to the damaged site.
It reduces loss of blood.
Increased blood flow will reduce phagocytosis.
It will allow damaged cells from the area to be removed.
