Q

Define the two different types of inflammatory responses

A

Cellular: Accumulation of white blood cells at the site of injury which clean up foreign debris,

Vascular: tissue is first injured, the small blood vessels in the damaged area constrict momentarily, a process called vasoconstriction. Then the blood vessels dilate (vasodilation), increasing blood flow into the area.

Q

How neutrophils damage host tissues

A

Break down the connective tissue, host contains potent antiproteases to limit effect of proteolytic enzymes. Without them tissue would be destroyed.
