?What are the key cellular players involved in acute inflammation, and how do they contribute to the inflammatory response

The key cellular players include neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, mast cells, and endothelial cells. Neutrophils are the first responders, recruited to the site of inflammation to phagocytose pathogens and release inflammatory mediators. Monocytes/macrophages clear debris and produce cytokines to modulate the immune response. Mast cells release histamine and other inflammatory mediators, while endothelial cells regulate vascular permeability and leukocyte trafficking.

?What are some common triggers that initiate acute inflammation, and how does the body respond to these triggers

Common triggers include infection, tissue injury, foreign substances, and immune reactions. When triggered, the body responds by releasing inflammatory mediators such as histamine, prostaglandins, and cytokines. These mediators induce vasodilation and increase vascular permeability, allowing immune cells to migrate to the site of inflammation. This leads to the characteristic signs of inflammation, including redness, heat, swelling, and pain.
