Published	09/23/2023	the two types of chemical mediators are {{c2::plasma-derived}} and {{c1::cell-derived}}
Published	09/23/2023	plasma-derived mediators are synthesized in the {{c1::liver}} and need to be {{c2::activated by processes to be able to carry out their function.}}
Published	09/23/2023	cell-derived mediators are stored in {{c1::intracellular granules that need to be secreted }}
Published	09/23/2023	inflammatory mediators include {{c1::histamine}}, {{c1::the complement system}}, {{c1::prostaglandins}}, {{c1::leukotrienes}}, and {{c1::kinins}}
Published	09/23/2023	exudate
Published	09/23/2023	{{c1::histamine}} is one of the first mediators released when inflammation occurs, during the {{c2::vascular response}}
Published	09/23/2023	cytokines can enhance the {{c1::manifestations of inflammation}} and {{c2::control cell growth}}
Published	09/23/2023	the complement cascade is {{c1::part of the immune system that enhances opsonization}} and {{c2::promotes inflammation}}
Published	09/23/2023	opsonization

Published	09/23/2023	fibrinous exudate
Published	09/23/2023	leukocytosis is the {{c1::increase in WBC count}}, especially in {{c2::neutrophils}}; it can indicate {{c2::a bacterial infection }}
Published	09/23/2023	differential count is when {{c1::they count how many of each type of WBC is present}}
Published	09/23/2023	plasma proteins occur when {{c1::there is an increase in fibrinogen and prothrombin}}
Published	09/23/2023	fibrinogen is a {{c1::protein that helps with blood clotting }}
Published	09/23/2023	prothrombin helps {{c1::the blood clot}}
Published	09/23/2023	c-reactive protein is {{c2::a marker}} for {{c1::acute inflammation}} and {{c1::necrosis}}

Published	09/23/2023	WBCs are also called {{c1::leukocytes}}
Published	09/23/2023	{{c2::basophils}} and {{c2::mast cells}} are responsible for {{c1::producing and releasing inflammatory mediators in WBCs}}
