Key Concepts

Inflammatory Response

The inflammatory response is a fundamental defense mechanism triggered by tissue injury or infection. It involves changes in blood flow, increased vascular permeability, and the recruitment of immune cells to the affected area to contain and eliminate pathogens and foreign material, thereby preventing the spread of infection and facilitating tissue repair.

Innate Immunity

Innate immunity is the body's first, rapid, and non-specific mechanism of defense against pathogens. It includes physical barriers, chemical signals, and cellular responses such as inflammation and phagocytosis, which work together to recognize, contain, and eliminate harmful agents before the adaptive immune system is activated.
