Acute inflammation is the immediate and early response of the body to harmful stimuli like pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. It aims to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury, clear out necrotic cells and tissues, and establish a repair process.
Chronic Inflammation: A prolonged inflammatory response lasting for weeks or months due to persistent irritants.
Histamine: A chemical mediator released by mast cells that increases vascular permeability during inflammation.
Neutrophils: A type of white blood cell that is one of the first responders to sites of infection or injury.
