Study Set Content:
is a common feature of inflammatory reactions, especially those induced by bacterial infections
Leukocytosis
Leukocyte count
15,000 or 20,000 cells/mL
Extraordinary Levels of Leukocyte Count
40,000 to 100,000 cells/mL
These extreme elevations in the leukocyte are sometimes called _____
Leukemoid reactions
induces proliferation of precursors in the bone marrow, caused by increased production of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs)
Prolonged infection
decreased number of circulating white cells
leukopenia
Viral infections such as infectious mononucleosis, mumps, and German Measles
Lymphocytosis
bacterial infections induce an increase in the blood neutrophil count
Neutrophilia
In some allergies and helminth infestations, there is an increase in the absolute number of
eosinophil
Eosinophilia
In some allergies and helminth infestations, there is an increase in the absolute number of
eosinophil
Eosinophilia
Other manifestations in Acute-phase response
Increase pulse rate
Increase BP
Decreased sweating
Chills
Anorexia
Somnolence
malaise
High levels of cytokines could cause
disseminated intravascular coagulation, hypotensive shock, and metabolic disturbances, including insulin resistance and hyperglycemia.
This clinical triad is known _____ and is one of form of a sever, often fatal disorder referred to as inflammatory response syndrome
Septic Shock
Most common cause of defective inflammation
Leukocyte deficiency
also called healing, refers to the restoration of tissue architecture and function after an injury
Repair
This term is used for parenchymal and connective tissues
Repair
This term is used for surface epithelia
Healing
Repair of damaged tissues occurs by two processes:
Regeneration & Scarring
Some tissues are able to replace the damaged components and essentially return to a normal state;
Regeneration
repair occurs by the laying down of connective (fibrous) tissue, a process that may
result in
Scar Formation
