What are the histological markers of inflammation following a natural disaster?
In response to tissue injury, the body initiates an inflammatory response. Histological markers of inflammation include the presence of neutrophils, macrophages, and other inflammatory cells at the site of injury. These cells release cytokines and chemokines that further recruit immune cells to the affected area. Histologically, inflamed tissues often show increased vascular permeability, leading to edema, and the accumulation of fluid and proteins in the extracellular space.
