granuloma
< 2mm diam aggregate of macrophages often surrounded by lymphocytes

typical of TB
vascular alterations

flow in surrounding tissue compresses damaged vessels, promotes platelet aggregation

if tissue damaged but vessels are intact, arterioles are temporarily constricted via neural input, then vasodilation override
transudation

WBC's accumulate & adhere to endothelial cells of vessel walls

initiates circulation of WBC from normal areas to inflammation site

WBC's then actively migrate out
