Study Notes

Chronic Inflammation

Damaged tissue and exposure to toxic substances or pathogens initiate the process of tissue repair in chronic inflammation.

Cells Involved in Chronic Inflammation

Macrophages, lymphocytes, and plasma cells are key cells involved in chronic inflammation.

Causes of Chronic Inflammation

Prolonged exposure to pollutants, irritants, or allergens, such as silica or asbestos, can lead to chronic inflammation of the lung.

Role of Macrophages

Macrophages play a crucial role in chronic inflammation by engulfing foreign substances and producing chemical signals that attract other immune cells to the site of inflammation.

Progression from Acute to Chronic Inflammation

Inadequate resolution of acute inflammation, persistent infection, or autoimmune disorders may cause chronic inflammation following acute inflammation.
