Inflammation

by: bedpanner

This is a diagram that illustrates the inflammatory response from insult to recovery. It shows various stages of the process, including injury, inflammation, repair, and resolution. At the beginning, there is an insult or injury to the body, which triggers the inflammatory response. This involves the release of chemicals such as histamine, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes that cause redness, swelling, and pain. The next stage is repair, where the body attempts to heal the damaged tissue by producing new cells and rebuilding the affected area. Finally, resolution occurs when the inflammation subsides, and the body returns to a normal state of health. The diagram also includes several key components that contribute to the inflammatory response, such as white blood cells, platelets, and cytokines. White blood cells are responsible for removing debris from the injury site and fighting off infections. Platelets help to stop bleeding by forming a clot around the damaged tissue. Cytokines play a crucial role in regulating the immune response and promoting inflammation or resolution, depending on their specific function.
