Explore the fundamental concept of inflammation as a protective response to injury, including its role in the accumulation of fluid and leukocytes, initiation of the repair process, and potential harmful effects. Delve into the connection between inflammation and chronic diseases, hypersensitivity reactions, and the formation of disfiguring scars and adhesions.
