A few symptoms of inflammation are redness, heat around the infected area, swelling and of course pain within the infected location. Now, inflammation is very important when it come to the immune system as its purpose is to restrict and dispose of anything harmful in the body so the body can start to heal itself. Inflammation is the body’s response to any injuries that you may sustain which prevents spreading and further damaging any surrounding tissue. Inflammations also disposes of cell debris and pathogens as well as starts the repairing process. When cells are injured they release specific inflammatory chemicals to include Histamine (a substance that causes vasodilation and increases vascular permeability) and Kinins (Group of polypeptides

T-cells respond to the cytokine molecules that are called interleukins via a signaling pathway. Cortisol blocks the T-cells from proliferating in that they prevent some of the T-cells from recognizing interleukin signals. It can also stifle inflammation that is die to inhibition of histamine secretion. Cortisol’s ability to prevent the promulgation of the immune response can render individuals suffering chronic stress that is highly vulnerable to infection (Randall 2012). Cortisol interferes by preventing T-cells from recognizing signals which stops T-cells from multiplying. As a result the cortisol released abates in the immune response and complement system affects the inflammatory response by causing an activation of systemic vascular …show more content…
When under high stress situations it can start a number of bad habits to include; alcohol, tobacco, or possibly drug abuse. As you are aware these types of actions can lead to terrible effects within your immune system. Short and long term habit can be formed and can also lead to behavioral problems as well. I have been in the military for a little over 14 years and I have witnessed firsthand troops with wild and erratic behaviors as well as depression. PTSD is a very real thing, with PTSD it becomes hard to think at times, hard to stay focused and all this stems from crazy events or possible close to death experiences. But one thing I have witnessed is that everybody deals with things differently and in their own way and their own time
