• Changes in Leukocyte
Vascular Caliber Recruitment and
and Flow Activation
• Increased Vascular
Permeability
Induced by mediators (e.g. Histamines)
Opens new capillary beds in the area and increase Blood flow
Vascular Changes
Heat and redness at the inflammatory site
Changes in Vascular
Caliber and Flow Vasodilation is quickly followed by increased permeability of the microvasculature,
with an exudate into the extravascular tissues
(Vasodilatation)
The loss of fluid and increased vessel diameter lead to slower blood flow and
increased viscosity of the blood. These changes externally as localized redness
(erythema) of the involved tissue.
Accumulation of activated leukocytes along the vessel wall may pile-up and
damage the endothelium through activation and release of toxic oxygen
radicals and proteolytic enzymes
25 mmHg
Activation Chemotaxis
• Leukocytes follow chemical gradient (chemotactic substances)
to site of injury
Bacterial products
Complement components (C5a)
Cytokines (chemokine family e.g., IL-8)
LTB4 (AA metabolite)
Leukocyte Activation
• Stimuli for activation include microbes, products of necrotic
cells, and several mediators
Histamine, NO
increasing blood
viscosity and
slowing the circulation Vascular dilation and
increased blood flow
(causing erythema and
stasis warmth)
leukocytes (principally
neutrophils) begin to
accumulate along
the vascular
endothelial surface
extravasation and
leukocyte deposition of plasma
emigration and fluid and proteins
