An overview of the events of inflammation
1. cut penetrates the epidermis barrier, and bacteria invade

2. Damaged cells release prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and histamine.

3. Prostaglandins and leukotrienes make vessels more permeable. Histamine causes vasodilation, increasing blood flow flow to the site.

4. Macrophages and neutrophils squeeze through walls of blood vessels (diapedesis).

5. Increased permeability allows antimicrobial chemicals and clotting proteins to seep into damaged tissue but also results in swelling, pressure on nerve endings, and pain.

6. Blood clot forms.

7. more phagocytes migrate to the site and devour bacteria.

8. Accumulation of damaged tissue and leukocytes forms pus.

9. Undifferentiated stem cells repair the damaged tissue. Blood clot is absorbed or falls off as a scab.
