Chapter 15, Problem 1CT
John received a chemical burn on his arm and was instructed by his physician to take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication for the painful, red, swollen lesions. When Charles suffered pain, redness, and swelling from an infected cut on his foot, he decided to take the same anti-inflammatory drug because his symptoms matched John's symptoms. How is Charles’s inflammation like that of John? How is it different? Is it appropriate for Charles to medicate his cut with the same medicine John used?

he classic signs of inflammation are that the tissue becomes hot, swollen, and painful, and the coloration of the overlying skin may change color slightly or significantly. Explain in detail the microscopic levels that occur that cause these macroscopic signs to appear (hot, swollen, painful, color change). How are these microscopic changes beneficial in terms of fighting infection? Are there any other microscopic events that are not immediately reflected in the macroscopic signs of inflammation?
In the disease mononucleosis (“mono”), the spleen enlarges because of increased numbers of phagocytes and other cells. Common signs and symptoms of this disease include pale complexion, a tired feeling, and a lack of energy sometimes to the point of not being able to get out of bed.

- Rebecca developed measles as a young child. As a teenager, she is re-exposed to the measles virus during an outbreak at her high school. What will most likely prevent Rebecca from experiencing any signs or symptoms of measles? As a result of her childhood exposure, her immune system can perform enhanced inflammatory response. As a result of her childhood exposure, her immune system can perform enhanced phagocytosis of virus-infected host cells. She has memory innate immune cells as a result of her childhood exposure. They would be primed to activate rapidly upon subsequent exposure to the same virus during the secondary immune response. She has memory B cells as a result of her childhood exposure. They would be primed to activate rapidly upon subsequent exposure to the same virus during the secondary immune response.arrow_forwardWhat causes the signs and symptoms of inflammation? List and discuss the six agents capable of stimulating an inflammatory response. .arrow_forwardA lymphadenectomy (lymph = clear fluid + aden = gland + -ectomy = excision) is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of lymph nodes. It is an invasive procedure that is performed to slow or stop the spread of cancer cells through the body from an original tumor site. Describe why this procedure might be effective in stopping the spread of cancer, even though it involves removing lymph nodes that are filled with the cells engaged in destroying unwanted substances and cells.arrow_forward
