Q

What are some reasons as to why soluble mediators are important in the acute inflammation?

A
  1. they act as switches the will turn inflammatory responses on an off 2. messengers- they are able to control actions of the cell 3. stimulate pain

Q

Breifly describe the major products that are produced within the complement cascade an the effect of them:

A
  1. C3B goes to C5a and C3a
  2. C5a and C3a cause inflammation
  3. C3b leads to phagocytosis
