infection
To let fluid, neutrophils (e.t.c) in, blood vessels will
vasodilate
What happens to the blood pressure when vasodilation occurs?
decreases
Chronic inflammation repairs normal tissue with collagen, what is this called?
fibrosis

DAMPS
The first responders that come to the site are
neutrophils
The 5 cardinal signs of inflammation
redness, swelling, heat, pain, loss of function
The step of wound healing that leads to new vascular bed formation
Proliferation
The most potent inflammatory mediator is

Immune cells that destroy infected cells by releasing signals to trigger apoptosis
cytotoxic T cells
Mechanism responsible for fluid leaking from the blood vessels into the surrounding tissue
