Inflamation has three purposes
1. neutralize and destroy invading and harmful antigens
2. to limit the spread of harmful agents
3. to prepare damage tissue for repair
Inflamation increases capillary permeability so
Phagocytic cells, complement and antibodies can leave the blood stream and enter tissue were neede.
Acute inflammation
Short duration, lasting less than 2wks, and involves a discrete set of events.
Cronic inflammation
More diffuse
Extended over longer periodes
May result in the formation of scar tissue and deformity
Inflammatory process
Increased vascular permeability
Recruitment and emigration of leukocytes
Phagocytosis of antigens and debris

Homologous
Members of the pair appear to be identical although they are different in DNA sequence.
Autosomes
Of the 23 pairs of chromosomes, 22 are homologous
Sex chromosomes
Differ in male and female
The female receives an X chromosome from each parent (homologous), where the other receive and X chromosome from their mother and a Y chromosome from the father (hemizygous). Thus, the genotype is a result of the union of 23 maternal and 23 paternal chromosomes at conception.

Cause of aneoploidy
Nondisjunction and anaphase lag
Nondisjunction
That the pair of homologous chromosomes fail to separate normally during either the first of second meotic division. The resulting germ cells than have an abnomal number of chromosomes: one will have 22 chromosomes and one will have 24.
