What causes edema that occurs during the inflammatory process?
Increased capillary permeability
What is the description of the process of diffusion?
During diffusion, the random motion of atoms causes them to spread out gradually.
What process causes the warm air to move upward over the land during the day?
convection
What helps to localize and contain the foreign material during an inflammatory response?
During an inflammatory response, neutrophils and macrophages work to "wall off" and contain the foreign material. This is done through the formation of granulomas, fibrosis, and encapsulation to prevent the spread of infection or damage to surrounding tissues. Additionally, the body may initiate the process of phagocytosis to engulf and remove the foreign material.
What causes discoloration around scar tissue?
Discoloration around scar tissue, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, is typically caused by an increase in melanin production as the skin heals. This can be exacerbated by sun exposure or inflammation during the healing process. Treatment options may include topical treatments, laser therapy, or chemical peels to address the discoloration.
What causes edema that occurs during the inflammatory process?
Increased capillary permeability
What causes capillaries to dilate during inflammatory response?
Histamine
What happens during inflammation?
During inflammation, blood vessels dilate to allow more blood and immune cells to reach the affected area. This causes redness and swelling. Immune cells release chemicals that help to fight off pathogens and repair damaged tissue. Pain and heat may also be present at the site of inflammation.
What causes the redness and swelling associated with an inflammatory response?
During the inflammatory response, there is vasodilataion, that increases blood flow to the particular region. Increased number of blood cells, along with the sluggish blood flow, causes the region to appear red. Local substances produced in response to inflammation (prostaglandins and leukotrienes), mainly metabolites of the arachidonic acid metabolism, cause the swelling.
The process by which neutrophils are squeezed through the capillary walls during the inflammatory process is called?
diapedesis
What causes arterioles in the damaged area to dilate during the inflammatory response?
The release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine, prostaglandins, and nitric oxide causes arterioles in the damaged area to dilate. This dilation increases blood flow to the damaged tissues, bringing in immune cells and nutrients to aid in the healing process.
What causes heat in inflammation?
Blood rushes to the site of inflammation so as to supply immune cells to fight the source of inflammation. This causes an increase in heat at the site.
What is the substance released during the inflammatory reaction that causes small blood vessels to dilate?
Histamine
What is the substance released during the inflammatory reaction that causes small blood vessels to dilate is?
Histamine
Why does redness occur during injury?
Redness is a vasodilatation of nearby undamaged blood vessels.
What process causes minerals to form in shallow lake during dry conditions?
Studies show that the process evaporation causes the minerals to form.
What inflammatory substance is responsible for pain during menstruation?
The inflammatory substance responsible for pain during menstruation is prostaglandins. The prostaglandins cause the uterine contractions, but in high quantities it will cause blood vessels supplying the uterus with blood to construct so starve the uterus of blood/oxygen very temporarily, and thus this is what causes the pain during menstruation.
