Identify common causes of inflammation: review the roles of cells of inflammation, discuss the vascular and cellular changes of the inflammatory response, discuss the role of inflammatory mediators, differentiate between acute and chronic inflammation. List and describe the five cardinal signs of inflammation: briefly discuss the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis. Specific: inflammation can be specific and is also called the immune response. Which means that it evolves over time after birth. Born with the same innate abilities to protect ourselves: but, each one of us varies in our ability to acquire immunity based on our individual experiences with exposure to pathogens and foreign antigens over our lifetime. Mechanical: it means of ridding the body of pathogens by sloughing, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, urinating and the cilial action of the respiratory tract: as well as, low skin temperatures that prevents the growth of the bacteria.
