Study Notes
Macrophage Response in Inflammation
- Macrophages are the first line of defense against infection in tissue.
- Within minutes of inflammation, macrophages rapidly enlarge as a first response.
- Although the number of early mobilized macrophages is not large, they are lifesaving.
Importance of Macrophages
- Activated macrophages play a vital role in the inflammatory response.
- Despite their limited numbers, macrophages are a valuable part of the immune response.
