Term
what are the 5 steps in the inflammatory response
Definition
1. damaged tissue release histamine
2. capillaries leak and release phospcytes and clotting factors

injury induces mast cells and IL which tell hypothalamus to cause fever and adrenal cortex to make cortisol which acts on liver to make proteins and complements to induce immune supression
