Inflammation

Acute

Plasma derived mediators	Bradykinin - complement (C3, C5a, MAC) - coagulation (Factor XII, Plasmin, Thrombin)
Cell derived mediators	preformed: Lysosome granules - vasoactive amines (Histamine, Serotonin) synthesized on demand: cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-1) - eicosanoids (Leukotriene B4, Prostaglandins) - Nitric oxide - Kinins

Chronic

Macrophage - Epithelioid cell - Giant cell - Granuloma

Processes

Traditional: Rubor - Calor - Tumor - Dolor - Functio laesa
Modern: Acute-phase reaction - Chemotaxis - Fever - Pain - Vascular permeability - Vasodilation
