Activation of immune cells (PRR/PAMPs) 3. Cytokine release 4. Capillary alterations – vasodilation etc 5. Attraction of neutrophils then monocytes – extravasation 6. Phagocytosis and wound clearance 7. Clotting (not described in this module) Dendritic cells – constantly sensing for invaders COVID – cytokine storm in the lungs We have focussed on the skin.....What about the lungs.......
