Susceptibility Neisseria infection
Defects in late components
Hallmark of acute inflammation
- Leukocytes + fluid
2. Vasodilation of small vessels
Morphological characteristics of chronic inflammation
- Lymphocytes, plasma cells, monocytes
- Tissue destruction
- Attempts at repair (angiogenesis, fibrosis)
Labile tissues can undergo REGENERATION because?
