A reaction of the body to injury, irritation, or infection, characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain.

A type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system. They are the first responders to inflammation, engulfing and destroying harmful pathogens.

A type of inflammatory mediator released by mast cells and basophils. It causes dilation of blood vessels, increased vascular permeability, and smooth muscle contraction.

A type of inflammatory mediator that is released by various cells, including macrophages and lymphocytes. They play a crucial role in inflammation by regulating immune responses and promoting tissue repair.

A type of enzyme that removes free radicals from the body. It is important in protecting cells from damage during inflammation.

An inflammatory exudate that is characterized by a high concentration of neutrophils.

Anti-inflammatory mediators are substances that help to reduce inflammation. They work by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory mediators or by blocking their actions.

A type of anti-inflammatory mediator that is produced by the body. It helps to regulate immune responses and suppress inflammation.

A type of white blood cell involved in allergic reactions and parasitic infections.

A potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation produced by endothelial cells.

Specialized cells lining blood vessels that release prostacyclin.

The movement of white blood cells from blood vessels to the site of inflammation.

An increase in the number of white blood cells in the blood, often seen during inflammation as a response to infection.

The process of tissue repair following injury or inflammation.

The ratio of carbon dioxide produced to oxygen consumed during cellular respiration.

The process of producing lactic acid as a byproduct of energy production in the absence of oxygen.

A protein that doesn't contribute to scar formation during inflammation.

A large protein that reduces inflammation by decreasing vascular permeability (leakiness).

A molecule that acts as a stimulator for the synthesis of "acute phase" proteins during inflammation.

A peptide that is a plasmatic mediator, meaning it plays a role in inflammation within the blood.

An anti-inflammatory molecule that neutralizes free radicals in the extracellular space. It helps to stop damage caused by these reactive molecules.

This refers to inflammation that follows a predictable pattern of development and is considered normal.

A substance released by mast cells and basophils, that causes vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and smooth muscle contraction.

These molecules are released by various cells during inflammation and regulate immune responses and tissue repair.

The process of creating new cells to repair damaged tissue.

A collection of fluid in the pleural cavity, the space between the lungs and the chest wall. It can occur due to inflammation or infection.

An inflammation characterized by fibrin deposition in the exudate, causing a sticky, yellow appearance.

A type of inflammation that is characterized by an accumulation of pus and a foul odor.

A type of inflammation that is characterized by the presence of blood in the exudate.

A type of inflammation that is characterized by a clear, watery fluid.

The earliest and most fleeting response of blood vessels within the microcirculation during inflammation, characterized by the dilation of arterioles.

A crucial step in inflammation, characterized by the slowing of blood flow within the microcirculation due to increased vascular permeability and leukocyte adhesion.

The formation of a blood clot within a blood vessel, a potential complication of inflammation, often associated with stasis and increased vascular permeability.

The blockage of a blood vessel by a foreign object, a potential complication of inflammation, which can occur during inflammation.

An insignificant increase in vascular permeability in the area of inflammation, allowing fluid to escape from the blood vessels into the tissues, leading to edema.

The primary cause of the formation of humoral mediators of inflammation, such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, which contribute to the inflammatory response.

The process of leukocytes, or white blood cells, moving out of blood vessels and into tissues, a crucial step in the inflammatory process.

A chemical substance that has cytolytic properties, meaning it can destroy cells. It is often released during inflammation and plays a role in the inflammatory response.

A type of white blood cell that is the first responder to inflammation. They engulf and destroy harmful pathogens, playing a crucial role in fighting infection.

An inflammatory exudate that is characterized by a high concentration of neutrophils. It is often thick and yellowish-green in appearance and is commonly found in abscesses.

A type of white blood cell that is involved in the immune response. They are known for their ability to 'seize' and engulf pathogens. These cells play a role in both innate and adaptive immunity.

The process of new blood vessel formation. This process is often triggered by inflammation and plays a role in tissue repair and regeneration.

A type of cell that contributes to the formation of connective tissue. These cells play a crucial role in the healing process after inflammation by producing collagen and other extracellular matrix components.

A chemical substance that triggers an inflammatory response. This substance causes dilation of blood vessels, increased vascular permeability, and other inflammatory processes.

A white blood cell that is involved in certain types of allergies and parasitic infections. They release substances to fight off parasites and some allergic reactions.
