    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.
