Inflammation after an injury requires changes in the function of endothelial cells. For the following questions, please number your answers.1. What change in endothelial cell function results in increased vascular permeability? 2. What is a non-cytokine soluble factor that will trigger this change in endothelial cell function leading to increased vascular permeability?3. What is the source of the factor that stimulates increased vascular permeability?4. This change in vascular permeability leads to what sign of inflammation?5. What change in endothelial cell function is needed in order to recruit cells to a site of inflammation?6. For an injury that involves bacterial infection, what is the most common cell recruited?7. What cytokine can trigger the recruitment of these cells to an inflammatory site?
