Study Notes
Inflammation
- The aim of inflammation is to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, repair the damaged tissue, and restore tissue function.
Exudate Formation
- The mechanism of exudate formation during inflammation involves increased permeability of blood vessels, leading to the escape of protein-rich fluid from the blood vessels into the interstitial tissue.
Abscess Definition
- An abscess is a localized collection of pus in a cavity formed by the breakdown of tissue.
Fate of an Abscess
- The fate of an abscess can be either spontaneous drainage, surgical drainage, or formation of a chronic abscess with a fibrous capsule.
Non-Suppurative Inflammation
- Non-suppurative inflammation, also known as chronic inflammation, is a prolonged and persistent inflammatory response that does not involve the formation of pus.
