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.
