Which of the following is NOT a true statement about inflammation? Substances released by invading bacteria themselves are the molecules that initiate inflammation The last stage in inflammation is tissue repair Substances released from damaged body cells attract phagocytic leukocytes to the area Inflammation can be triggered by physical injury or infection Phagocytic leukocytes migrate through the walls of blood vessels into surrounding tissues
The circulating cytokines that recruit large numbers of phagocytes to the area of inflammation, resulting in pus, are called: O1) pyogens O 2) pyrogens 3) interferons O 4) defensins
What are the changes that occur in the circulatory system as part of the inflammatory process? With that in mind, would it to be easier or harder for oxygen to diffuse into inflamed tissues?
Many of the inflammatory mediators produced by tissue macrophages at sites of infection act on the endothelial cells lining the blood vessel walls. An exception to this is (are) the: Cytokines that induce increased vascular permeability Chemokines that induce directed migration of blood monocytes Cytokines that induce increased expression of adhesion molecules TNF produced by tissue-resident sensor cells Bradykinin produced that causes pain

Which of the following statements are TRUE about the process of inflammation? (Select all that apply) Inflammation can occur with only the innate immune response involved. Leukocytes or white blood cells are found everywhere in the body to carry out inflammation as needed Growth factor from non-skin cells is responsible for the formation of scar tissue in place of the damaged skin cells The increase of warmed blood to a site of injury comes from the hypothalamus Phagocytes engulf invading microbes and dead white blood cells Phagocytosis is used during inflammation to make sure there is no debris

Which of the following is not a part of the inflammation process? a) Intracellular gaps in vessels that allow passage of large proteins Ob) Dilation of vessels c) Increased permeability of vessels d) Contraction of vascular smooth muscle e) Increased blood flow
List the sequence of events in an inflammatory response and describe each step.
Draw a figure illustrating the sequence of events in a typical inflammatory response to a bacterial infection caused by injury to the skin (in 3 main stages). Include a note at top of figure: Is this an example of an innate response or adaptive immune response? Include the following structures/cells/chemicals: epidermis, dermis, splinter contaminated with bacteria puncturing skin, macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils, nitric oxide (as blue dots), endothelial cells lining capillary, red blood cells within capillary, histamine (as green dots). Under each stage, describe the events occurring in the 3 main stages: Stage 1: What do mast cells and endothelial cells produce in initial response to injury? What do the chemicals produced by the cells do? Stage 2: What happens to capillaries? What leaks out of capillaries to enter the site of the wound? Stage 3: What do neutrophils and macrophages do? What happens to capillaries at this point?
