Study Notes

Inflammatory Response: A Protective Mechanism

The inflammatory response is the body's immediate, non-specific defense mechanism against infections and injuries.
It's the first line of defense, regardless of the cause or location of damage.
The response is consistent each time.
The response involves cellular, vascular, and chemical components.
The inflammatory response prepares the injury site for healing and repair.

Acute vs. Chronic Inflammation

Acute inflammation: Quick onset, short duration, mild, self-limiting.
Chronic inflammation: Slow onset, long duration, persistent/progressive, often associated with long-term diseases like asthma, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis.

Triggers of Inflammatory Response

Infections
Tissue necrosis (associated with ischemia)
Foreign bodies (e.g., splinters)
Immune reactions
