Inflammation Pathophysiology - Causes, Mechanisms, Mediators

Image
Inflammation Pathophysiology - Causes, Mechanisms, Mediators Inflammation is a local response ( reaction ) of living vascularized tissues to endogenous and exogenous stimuli. The term is derived from the Latin "inflammable" meaning to burn. Inflammation is fundamentally destined to localize and eliminate the causative agent and to limit tissue injury. Thus, inflammation is a physiologic (protective) response to injury, an observation made by Sir John Hunter in 1794 concluded: “inflammation is itself not to be considered as a disease but as a salutary operation consequent either to some violence or to some diseases”.   Causes Causes of inflammation are apparently causes of diseases such as • physical agents - mechanical injuries, alteration in temperatures and pressure, radiation injuries. • chemical agents- including the ever-increasing lists of drugs and toxins. • biologic agents (infectious)- bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites • immunologic disorders- hypersensitivity reac...

Pathophysiology of Inflammation - Acute & chronic Inflammation

Pathophysiology of Inflammation | Inflammation Pathology - Acute & chronic Inflammation - EduLesson Pathophysiology of 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. The initial  inflammation  phase consists of three subphases: acute, subacute, and chronic (or proliferative). The acute phase typically lasts 1–3 days and is characterized by the five classic clinical signs: heat, redness,  swelling , pain, and loss of function.
