Chemical mediators of acute inflammation include.. | histamine, serotonin, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, kinins, chemokines, cytokines, and anaphylatoxins |
Mediators of Early Acute inflammation will | attract WBC to the inflamed site and activation; effects rapid and affect the epithelial cells of neighboring blood vessels, leading to inc. blood flow, inc. fluid permeability and adhesiveness for circulating WBCs; accumulation of neutrophils |
