What do you call a localized response to an injury or destruction of tissue?
Inflammation is the localized response to an injury or tissue destruction. Inflammatory Response inflammation infection, acute inflammation, cachexia
How does inflammation help the body?
Inflammation is the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. It is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue. Inflammation is not a synonym for infection. Even in cases where inflammation is caused by infection it is incorrect to use the terms as synonyms: infection is caused by an exogenous pathogen, while inflammation is the response of the organism to the pathogen. In the absence of inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal and progressive destruction of the tissue would compromise the survival of the organism.The process of acute inflammation is initiated by the blood vessels local to the injured tissue, which alter to allow the exudation of plasma proteins and leukocytes into the surrounding tissue. The increased flow of fluid into the tissue causes the characteristic swelling associated with inflammation, and the increased blood flow to the area causes the reddened colour and increased heat. The blood vessels also alter to permit the extravasation of leukocytes through the endothelium and basement membrane constituting the blood vessel. Once in the tissue, the cells migrate along a chemotactic gradient to reach the site of injury, where they can attempt to remove the stimulus and repair the tissue1.1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammationhow bout u go to a doctor or a bathroom if you got inflammation down there no what in sayin.......lol I'm funny
What tissue group does the tissue that contains erythrocytes leukocytes and plasma belong to?
Connective Tissue
Granular leukocytes are formed from what tissue?
Bone marrow
What type of therapy uses cold packs to reduce inflammation by constricting blood vessels and limiting blood flow to injured tissue?
Cryotherapy for A+
What is the response?
The inflammatory response (inflammation) occurs when tissues are injured. Leukocytes and plasma proteins gather to inflame the area to fight infection. is a nonspecific defense reaction to tissue damage caused by injury or infection
Movement of leukocytes from capillaries to damaged tissue is called?
Diapedesis
What inflammatory joint disease thought to involve an autoimmune response is?
Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto immune disease that involves the inflammation and destruction of joint tissue. it is also responsible for inflammation and destruction of other parts of the body. These include the skin , brain, Eyes, vascular system and many other organs.
What are characteristics of inflammation?
The symptoms of inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are caused by increased blood flow into tissue. Inflammation is produce by local hormones, which are released by injured cells.These include prostaglandins that produce fever and the dilation of blood vessels associated with inflammation, and leukotrienes that attract certain white blood cells. These and other chemicals recruit immune cells to the site and promote healing of any damaged tissue.
Is mastitis an inflammation of the breast?
Yes. Mastitis is the inflammation of breast tissue.
What tissue types found in cirulatory system?
blood is made of erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells) and platelets. your blood vessels walls are made of smooth muscle. your heart is made of cardiac muscle.
What are the symptoms of inflammation?
Inflammation (Latin, inflammare, to set on fire) is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants.[1] Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli and to initiate the healing process. Inflammation is not a synonym for infection, even in cases where inflammation is caused by infection. Infection is caused by an exogenous pathogen, while inflammation is one of the responses of the organism to the pathogen.Without inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal. Similarly, progressive destruction of the tissue would compromise the survival of the organism. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases, such as hay fever, atherosclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is for that reason that inflammation is normally closely regulated by the body.Inflammation can be classified as either acute or chronic. Acute inflammation is the initial response of the body to harmful stimuli and is achieved by the increased movement of plasma and leukocytes (especially granulocytes ) from the blood into the injured tissues. A cascade of biochemical events propagates and matures the inflammatory response, involving the local vascular system, the immune system, and various cells within the injured tissue. Prolonged inflammation, known as chronic inflammation, leads to a progressive shift in the type of cells present at the site of inflammation and is characterized by simultaneous destruction and healing of the tissue from the (Source From Wikipedia)Dolor- painCalor- heatRubor- erythema/rednessTumor- swellingFunctio laesia- loss of functionthe first 4 are attricutred to Celsus, some attribute the last to Galen.The four signs and symptoms of inflammation are redness, pain, heat, and swelling.
