PHASES OF ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:Acts to increase the response & quickly neutralize whatever causes the injury and clean up the debris from the injury	Initiation
PHASES OF ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:activated when the injury occurs. It comprises changes to the structure of the small blood vessels (microcirculation) in the area of the injury, leading to loss of fluid from the blood and the movement of white blood cells from the blood vessels to the injured area.	Initiation
PHASES OF ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:nvolves the action of chemical substances that direct more and different types of white blood cells into the injured area.	Amplification
PHASES OF ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:End stage if inflammatory process	Termination
PHASES OF ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:requires that other chemical substances stop or inhibit the inflammatory process	Termination

EVENTS IN ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:Begins process of exudate formation and vascular stasis	INCREASED VASCULAR PERMEABILITY
EVENTS IN ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:Increases blood viscosity	VASCULAR STASIS
EVENTS IN ACUTE INFLAMMATORY PROCESS:Leukocytes move to the endothelial walls and begin the process of rolling	VS: MARGINATION
