1) Tissue damage occurs following an injury, with cellular membranes damaged and contents spilling out, leading to cell death. Blood vessels break and nerves are injured, forming a hematoma of blood and debris. 2) Chemical mediators like histamine and bradykinin signal the injury and mobilize responses, increasing blood flow and allowing leukocytes like neutrophils to reach the site. 3) Neutrophils begin cleaning debris but can also cause collateral damage, then calling macrophages for continued cleanup through phagocytosis and removal via the lymph system. Secondary injury may occur due to reduced blood flow and oxygen delivery.
