Immune Response and Hypersensitivity

Puncture Wound Multimedia Activity

After completing the Puncture Wound Multimedia Activity, complete the table below. List the four events of the inflammatory response covered in the activity in the order of occurrence. Rewrite the events in your own words, using vocabulary terms from Ch. 2 of the text.

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.       |When the nail enters the skin it releases bacteria that was |
|             |                                                         |on the surface of the nail.                                 |
|2nd         |Surrounding cells leak fluid that affect the blood       |When the cells are injured they release something called     |
|             |vessels.                                                 |Hisamine which causes the cells to dilate.                   |
|3rd         |The fluid affecting the surrounding blood vessels causes |The affected blood vessels release inflammatory exudate     |
|             |the release of other cells into the tissue.               |                                                             |
|4th         |As the wounded part of the body reacts to the germs,     |At this point Neutrophils comes in and destroys the         |
|             |certain cells destroy these germs.                       |bacteria.                                                   |
