Acute inflammation/Vascular event/Haemodynamic Changes/Altered Vascular Permeability/Pathophysiology

Acute inflammation is a rapid host response that serves to deliver leukocytes and plasma proteins, such as antibodies, to sites of infection or tissue injury. Acute inflammatory response can be divided into following two events: I. Vascular events II. Cellular events Vascular events are the Alteration in the microvasculature (arterioles, capillaries and venules) is the earliest response to tissue injury These alterations include: I. Haemodynamic changes II. Changes in vascular permeability
