Inflammatory Response
• Triggered whenever body tissues injured
• Prevents spread of damaging agents
• Disposes of cell debris and pathogens
• Alerts adaptive immune system
• Sets the stage for repair

Inflammatory Response
• Cardinal signs of acute inflammation:1. Redness
2. Heat
3. Swelling
4. Pain
(Sometimes 5. Impairment of function)

MDufilho
Inflammatory Response
• Begins with chemicals released into ECF by injured tissues, immune cells, blood proteins
• Macrophages and epithelial cells of boundary tissues bear Toll-like receptors (TLRs)
• 11 types of TLRs recognize specific classes of infecting microbes
• Activated TLRs trigger release of cytokines that promote inflammation

MDufilho
Inflammatory Response
• Inflammatory mediators– Histamine (from mast cells)– Kinins, prostaglandins (PGs), and
complement • Dilate local arterioles (hyperemia)
– Causes redness and heat of inflamed region
• Make capillaries leaky• Many attract leukocytes to area• Some have inflammatory roles

MDufilho
Inflammatory Response: Edema
Capillary permeability exudate to tissues– Fluid containing clotting factors and
antibodies– Causes local swelling (edema)– Swelling pushes on nerve endings pain
• Pain also from bacterial toxins, prostaglandins, and kinins
– Moves foreign material into lymphatic vessels– Delivers clotting proteins and complement

MDufilho
Inflammatory Response
• Clotting factors form fibrin mesh– Scaffold for repair– Isolates injured area so invaders cannot
spread

Clinical Applications
• Benadryl (an antihistamine) – blocks receptor site (H1) for histamine receptors
• Aspirin/Ibuprofen – inhibits formation/action of prostaglandins – reduces pain and fever
Cortisone cream – inhibits release/action of inflammatory chemicals
• Naproxen – prevents formation of prostaglandins

Inflammatorychemicals
Migrating whiteblood cell
ArteryInflammation sets the stage:• Severed blood vessels bleed. • Inflammatory chemicals are released.• Local blood vessels become more permeable, allowing white blood cells, fluid, clotting proteins, and other plasma proteins to seep into the injured area.• Clotting occurs; surface dries and forms a scab.

Tissue Repair
• Necessary when barriers are penetrated• Cells must divide and migrate• Occurs in two major ways
– Regeneration• Same kind of tissue replaces destroyed tissue• Original function restored
– Fibrosis• Connective tissue replaces destroyed tissue• Original function lost

Fibroblast
Organization restores the blood supply:• The clot is replaced by granulation tissue, which restores the vascular supply.• Fibroblasts produce collagen fibers that bridge the gap.• Macrophages phagocytize dead and dying cells and other debris.• Surface epithelial cells multiply and migrate over the granulation tissue.

Steps in Tissue Repair: Step 3
• Regeneration and fibrosis– The scab detaches– Fibrous tissue matures; epithelium thickens
and begins to resemble adjacent tissue– Results in a fully regenerated epithelium with
underlying scar tissue

Fibrosed area
Regeneration and fibrosis effect permanent repair:• The fibrosed area matures and contracts; the epithelium thickens.• A fully regenerated epithelium with an underlying area of scar tissue results.

Regenerative Capacity in Different Tissues
• Regenerate extremely well– Epithelial tissues, bone, areolar connective tissue,
dense irregular connective tissue, blood-forming tissue
• Moderate regenerating capacity– Smooth muscle and dense regular connective tissue
• Virtually no functional regenerative capacity– Cardiac muscle and nervous tissue of brain and
spinal cord– New research shows cell division does occur
• Efforts underway to coax them to regenerate better

Aging Tissues
• Normally function well through youth and middle age if adequate diet, circulation, and infrequent wounds and infections
• Epithelia thin with increasing age so more easily breached
• Tissue repair less efficient• Bone, muscle and nervous tissues begin to
atrophy• DNA mutations possible increased cancer
risk
