Vascular Events in an Inflammatory Response
|Events |Simplified description of event |Professional description of event |
|1st |Germs from the nail are introduced below the skin. |Bacteria from the nail enter the body and begin to multiply.|
|2nd |Surrounding cells leak fluid that affects the blood |The injured cells release histamine fluids that attack the |
| |vessels. |blood vessels. |
|3rd |The fluid affecting the surrounding blood vessels causes |Blood vessels shrink and are penetrated, releasing |
| |the release of other cells into the tissue. |inflammatory exudate. |
|4th |As the wounded part of the body reacts to the germs, |Neutrophils move toward the chemotaxis and destroy them. |
| |certain cells destroy these germs. | |
Hypersensitivity
Give a brief description and example in your own words for each of the four types of hypersensitivity presented in Ch. 2.
