The inflammatory response is a nonspecific immune reaction that occurs in response to injury or infection, aimed at restoring homeostasis and healing. It involves increased blood flow, immune cell recruitment, and fluid accumulation at the site of damage. While crucial for defense, excessive inflammation can lead to further tissue damage.
