Premises:
cytokines
Responses:
20-carbon molecules derived from dietary fatty acids that help to regulate blood pressure, blood clotting, and other body functions
white blood cells that have the ability to engulf and destroy antigens body functions
a group of nonspecific immune responses to infection or injury
a whole-body inflammatory response caused by infection; characterized by raised heart and respiratory rates, abnormal white blood cell counts, and elevated body temperature
signaling proteins produced by the body's cells; those produced by white blood cells regulate various aspects of immune function
accumulations of pus
mediated by catecholamine hormones, cortisol, and glucagon, which together raise nutrient levels in blood, stimulate heart rate, raise blood pressure, and increase metabolic rate
the surgical removal of dead, damaged, or contaminated tissue resulting from burns or wounds
a severe reduction in blood flow that deprives the body's tissues of oxygen and nutrients
changes in body chemistry resulting from infection, inflammation, or injury; characterized by alterations in plasma proteins
