Morphological Features of Acute Inflammation

Acute inflammation is a rapid immune response characterized by vascular changes and neutrophil infiltration. Chronic inflammation leads to prolonged immune activation and tissue damage.

Acute and Chronic Inflammation

Morphological Features of Acute Inflammation

Acute inflammation is the body's immediate response to tissue injury or infection. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, pain, and loss of function.

Key Morphological Features

Vascular Changes: Increased blood flow and permeability
Cellular Response: Neutrophil infiltration
Exudation: Accumulation of protein-rich fluid

Stages of Acute Inflammation

Inflammation progresses through initiation, amplification, and resolution. Chronic inflammation occurs when acute inflammation fails to resolve, leading to prolonged immune activation and tissue damage.
