Acute inflammation resolved
1. healing process takes place and tissue regenerates (rare) or scar forms (likely) 2. inflammation progresses and suppurative (pus) forming process starts 3. inflammation becomes chronic (subsides and returns)
Suppuartive process
-toxins secreted from bacteria, neutrophils and macrophages + tissue ischemia -excessive tissue destruction and necrosis -when bacteria and immune cells die near dead tissue, pus forms (abscess: prevent antigens from spreading via fibrin, fibrnogen, and thrombin pocket) -abscess may d…
Chronic inflammation
Initiated by: -excessive microtrauma to muscle or connective tissue -asbestos and other non-living foreign material that cannot be dissolved by body -bacteria and viruses that avoid and resist host defense (TB, mycobacteria, fungi) -altered tissues or tissue displacement in or around…

3. Coagulation
initiated by -trauma to vascular wall and adjacent tissue (extrinsic) -traumitized tissue releases thromboplastin = coagulation initiated -exposed collagen (endothelium damage) - (intrinsic) - activation of Hageman factor = coagulation initiated
Extrinsic pathway

Clot contraction
within 20-60 mins, clots undergo syneresis (pulling wound together) -actomyosin protein complex contracts like skeletal muscle -pull created on fibrin strands = edges of injury drawn together
Clot lysis
after healing, clot is lysed -injured tissue releases PLASMINOGEN and TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR (TPA) -those are in the clot and activated after days -TPA converts plasminogen to plasmin (proteolytic enzyme that dissolves clot) -TPA (& steptokinase) can be used to dissolve clots i…
