This document outlines the key events and processes in acute inflammation. It begins with vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, allowing fluid leakage and migration of neutrophils to the site of injury. Neutrophils are activated and undergo phagocytosis to eliminate pathogens. Chemical mediators like histamine, prostaglandins and cytokines further promote the inflammatory response. This sequence aims to resolve the trigger and heal tissue, and may result in full resolution, scarring, or progression to chronic inflammation characterized by lymphocytes and macrophages. The document also discusses chronic and granulomatous inflammation.
