Study Notes

The Purpose of Inflammation

Inflammation is a vital defense mechanism that helps protect the body against infection, injury, and tissue damage.

Consequences Without Inflammation

Without inflammation, the body would be unable to defend itself against infection and tissue damage, leading to further tissue destruction and potentially life-threatening consequences.

Normal Location of Leukocytes and Plasma Proteins

Leukocytes (white blood cells) and plasma proteins are normally found in the bloodstream and lymphatic system.

Recruitment to the Site of Infection or Damage

Once leukocytes and plasma proteins are recruited to the site of infection or tissue damage, they work together to:
- Neutralize and eliminate pathogens
- Remove debris and dead cells
- Initiate the healing process

Final Step in Inflammatory Reaction

The final step in a typical inflammatory reaction involves the resolution of inflammation, which leads to tissue repair and regeneration, restoring normal tissue function and structure.
