inflammation
immune systems reponse to harmful stimuli and acts by removing the stimulus and initiating the healing process
Physical signs
redness, swelling, heat, pain and pus

involves blood vessels, damaged cells release cytokines and prostagladins that attract neutrophils, and mast cells release histamines, causing dilation of blood vessels, vasodilation produces redness and increased blood flow produces heat
cellular stage
involves immune cells, migration of neutrophils to infection site followed by macrophages, release signals that attract more phagocytes that attack pathogens
resolution stage
