inflammatory response
What is the inflammatory response?
occurs following trauma, infection, or irritation and delivers WBCs to the area
What is the healing process?
to fill the gap created by tissue destruction and restore structural Integrity .
What is hemostasis?
The first phase of wound healing where bleeding stops and a clot forms.
What are antibodies
Plasma contains these that attack foreign antigens not present on the body’s own RBCs.
What is hypoxia
low oxygen levels in the tissues.
What is tissue repair?
This process involves restoring both structure and function after injury.
Name the general phases of healing.
1. Hemostasis, 2. Inflammation, 3. Proliferation / Granulation, 4. Remodeling / Maturation
What is inflammation
The phase in which immune cells clean the wound of debris and pathogens.
Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of these on the red blood cells
Antigens
Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from areas of ____ partial pressure to ____ partial pressure.
High → low partial pressure
The five signs of inflammation are represented by the acronym SHARP. Fill in the blanks.
S – swelling, H – heat, A – altered function, R – redness, P – pain
During tissue repair, the new tissue that fills the wound is called this.
granulation tissue
What is remodeling / maturation?
The final phase of healing, where tissue strength and function are restored.
Type AB blood plasma contains these antibodies.
none
What is hemoglobin?
These proteins in red blood cells transport most of the oxygen and some carbon dioxide.
List the general sequence of events during the inflammatory response.
Healthy tissue
Bacteria enters tissue
Release of inflammatory mediators
Blood flow & vascular permeability increases
Phagocytosis of bacteria
No bacteria remaining / tissue repaired
(blood type)
Which blood type has neither A nor B antigens but has both Anti-A and Anti-B antibodies in plasma?
Type O
(blood type)
Which blood types have both A and B antigens on their RBCs?
Type AB
Match the plasma antibodies to the blood type: Type A, Type B, Type AB, Type O.
Type A → Anti-B
Type B → Anti-A
Type AB → Neither
Type O → Both Anti-A and Anti-B
What is anemia
Low oxygen delivery to tissues can be caused by this condition where the blood cannot carry enough oxygen.
What is hypoxic hypoxia
High altitude or respiratory issues can lead to low oxygen availability in tissues
