Inflammation and Immunity

2. Primary kinin that causes dilation of vessels
5. Hypersensitivity to environmental antigens
6. Systemic response to a variety of insults
8. Capable of recognizing specific antigens which they attack directly
9. Failure of self defense mechanisms to function normally
11. When a wound pulls apart at suture line
15. Most abundant type of WBC
17. Altered immunologic reactivity to an antigen that results in a pathologic immune response
18. Elevates in response to inflammatory response
19. Production of new blood vessels to supply the site of damage
20. Disturbance in tolerance to self antigens

1. Redness, swelling, heat, pain, loss of function
3. Examples are graft rejection and blood transfusion reactions
4. Have a role to stop bleeding if vascular injury has occurred
7. Replacement of lost tissue through proliferation of adjacent undamaged tissue
10. Most important of the plasma protein systems of inflammation
12. Fever producing substances
13. Work by inhibiting prostaglandin production in the hypothalamus
14. Sepsis with severe hypoperfusion
16. An abnormal passageway
