Study Notes

Features of Inflammation

The general features of inflammation include increased blood flow, increased permeability of blood vessels, and increased migration of leukocytes into the affected tissue.

Goal of Inflammation

The goal of the inflammatory reaction is to eliminate the offending stimulus, restore tissue homeostasis, and facilitate healing.

Induction of Inflammation

Inflammation can be induced by various stimuli, including infection, tissue injury, and immune responses.

Cardinal Signs of Inflammation

The cardinal signs of inflammation are:
- Redness (rubor)
- Heat (calor)
- Swelling (tumor)
- Pain (dolor)
- Loss of function (functio laesa)

Cells and Blood Vessels Involved

The cells involved in inflammation include neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes.
The blood vessels involved in inflammation include arterioles, capillaries, and venules.

Intended Purpose of Inflammation

The intended purpose of inflammation is to protect the body from infection and injury, and to promote healing and tissue repair.
