1. The cellular events of inflammation involve the adhesion of leukocytes to endothelial cells, their migration through blood vessels into tissues, and chemotaxis towards inflammatory stimuli. 2. Phagocytosis is the process by which phagocytes engulf pathogens or debris through opsonization, engulfment, degranulation, and degradation. Phagocytes release reactive oxygen species and enzymes to kill pathogens intracellularly. 3. The resolution of acute inflammation involves demolition of exudates by macrophages, with complete healing and return to normal tissue, or formation of granulation tissue and fibrosis if resolution is delayed. Prolonged inflammation can result in suppuration and abscess formation.
