Document Summary

Complement = things that enhance the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells. Its appearance will depend on the extent of each of these processes, and to some degree is related to the type of agent, which caused the response. Chronic inflammation can arise from an acute inflammatory response that hasn"t eliminated the original causing agent, or can occur without an obvious acute phase. The desired outcome of chronic inflammation, or of any injury, is for healing and repair to occur, so that the integrity and function of the injured tissue is restored if possible. The term inflammation implies a complex, predetermined and nonspecific response to injury, consisting of a microcirculatory response as well as mobilization of phagocytic cells; this is also termed the acute inflammatory response. Acute inflammatory response is characterized by: redness, heat, swelling, pain, loss of function.
