A serous exudate continues in the fluid state as long as it remains in the tissues or tissue spaces. It is composed almost entirely of fluid, having very few cells. This variety of ex- udate is characteristic of mild inflammatory conditions. The constancy of the fluidity of the serous exudate is the result of the action of enzyms that continually convert the albuminous substances into soluble compounds as proteoses and peptones. b. Inflammatory fibrinous exudate contains two enzyms, one of which (leucoprotase) is active in an alkaline medium and the other in an acid medium. "These enzyms probably exert their greatest activity in a neutral medium, slight changes in reaction increasing digestion by the one, and suspending di-. gestion bv the ; In suppuration the acid digesting enzym probablv disappears (Barker). A fibrinous exudate is one that coagulates within the tissues or tissue spaces. The coagu- lation of the exudate is identical with the coagulation of blood and is probal)lv due to the liberation of fibrin forming enzyms from disintegrated leucocytes. Fibrinous exudate is the variety observed in inflammation resulting: from severe irritation. The exudate usually contains many cells and a large amount L>f proteids. c. Hemorrhagic exudates are those in which the red blood cells as well as leucocytes and plasma have passed through the ves- sel walk This exudate coagulates the same as the fibrinous.
