Inflammation1. What are the five cardinal signs of inflammation? 2. What is colloid osmotic pressure? Hydrostatic pressure? 3. What chemokine released by mast cells upon interaction with a pathogen contributes to increased hydrostatic pressure and localized edema? 4. Why would you not want to get injured by a Punji stick (or poop stick)? How could this contribute to more intense inflammation? 5. Be familiar with the roles of the different inflammation mediators: bradykinin, C3, C5a, Plasmin, Thrombin, Factor XII (Hageman Factor), bradykinin, PGI2 (prostacyclin).6.
