Inflammation is the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. It is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue. Inflammation is not a synonym for infection. Even in cases where inflammation is caused by infection it is incorrect to use the terms as synonyms: infection is caused by an exogenous pathogen, while inflammation is the response of the organism to the pathogen. In the absence of inflammation, wounds and infections would never heal and progressive destruction of the tissue would compromise the survival of the organism.
The process of acute inflammation is initiated by the blood vessels local to the injured tissue, which alter to allow the exudation of plasma proteins and leukocytes into the surrounding tissue. The increased flow of fluid into the tissue causes the characteristic swelling associated with inflammation, and the increased blood flow to the area causes the reddened colour and increased heat. The blood vessels also alter to permit the extravasation of leukocytes through the endothelium and basement membrane constituting the blood vessel. Once in the tissue, the cells migrate along a chemotactic gradient to reach the site of injury, where they can attempt to remove the stimulus and repair the tissue1.

Why is inflammation important?
Inflammation is the way the body heals or responds to an insult. The insult could be a wound/cut, bacterial infection, fracture of a bone, chemical or heat burn, etc. Inflammation is a complex chain of tisue responses usually endeding in resolution or healing. One of the first results of inflammation is to proveide a protactive wall around the problem, then white blood cells ( neutrohils) are attracted to the area, the neutrohils respond a a defense army. This army is ablle to gain assistance from other white blood cells as required and is "in touch" with the bone marrow to order more assistance and production of further white cells and" supplies". Pus is formed by the white cells eating or ingesting the toxins and this is the waiste pruduct, which is disposed of in the lymph system or as in the case of a "zit" or pimple may erupt to the surface of the body and be epelled in that way. resolution of inflammation occurs with complete healing of the body and the return of the white bllod cell count to normal levels.
