Under normal circumstances, what components of the blood cross the capillary wall?
Blood cells can't travel but interstitial fluid can and other small solutes.
Cytokines, like histamine and leukotrienes, are secreted by damaged cells in Dave’s ankle. How do these cytokines cause inflammation?
E-selectin are induced by cytokines from injured cells and they function like P-selectin.
How does the application of ice to the ankle affect blood flow through the capillaries?
It constricts the capillaries and decreases swelling and blood flow!!!!!!!
How does the removal of ice from the ankle affect blood flow through the capillaries and the cytokines?
The blood flow increases because it helps return the blood flow to normal.
How does compression, which is provided by an elastic (Ace) bandage wrapped around the damaged ankle, decrease inflammation?
It physically constricts the blood vessels which reduces pain and swelling.
How does elevation of the damaged ankle decrease inflammation?
It increases blood flow back to the heart which is important when it comes to swelling :)
