Inflammation is biochemical, structural and cellular non-specific
protective process.
-occurs locally in vascularized tissues.
-Aimed to: Destroy impairing factors, or to remove them, separate

and to induce specific immune response, and restart reparation of
tissue.
Hallmarks of inflammation:-
Redness
Hotness
Swelling
