Inflammatory response

The response includes both localized and systemic effects, consisting of altered patterns of blood flow, an influx of phagocytic and other immune cells, removal of foreign antigens, and healing of the damaged tissue.

Inflammatory response

Inflammation may be acute (short-term effects)—for example, in response to local tissue damage.

it may be chronic (long term), contributing to conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, cardiovascular disease, and Type 2 diabetes.
