Inflammatory Response Process Explained - From Injury to Healing #143934 (License: Personal Use)

The diagram outlines the sequential stages of acute inflammation: an initial injury prompts mast cells to release histamine, causing capillary leakage and recruitment of white blood cells (neutrophils, phagocytes). These cells trigger clotting and clear debris, while vasodilation produces classic signs-redness, swelling, heat, and pain-ultimately supporting blood supply restoration and tissue healing. Arrows indicate causal relationships between physiological events.

Used in medical education, patient brochures, or health websites explaining wound healing or autoimmune conditions; targets users seeking to understand inflammation mechanisms for academic, clinical, or personal health reasons.
