| Chemotaxis | a movement of wbc's, as directed by biochemical mediators, to an area of injury |
| Edema | Excessive plasma or exudate in the interstitial space that results in tissue swelling. |
| Emigration | the passage of wbc's through the walls of small blood vessels and into injured tissue |
| Erythema | redness of the skin or mucosa |
| Granulation tissue | the initial connective tissue formed in healing |
| Hyperemia | an excess of blood within blood vessels in a part of the body |
| Hyperplasia | an enlargement of a tissue or organ from an increase in the normal number of cells |

| Microcirculation | small blood vessels, including arterioles, capillaries, and venules |
| Neutrophil | the first WBC to the site of injury; primary cell involved in acute inflammation |
| Pavementing | the adhereance of WBC's to the vessel walls during inflammation |
| Phagocytosis | the injestion and digestion of particulate material by cells |
| Purulent | a secretion containing or forming pus |
| Regeneration | the process by which injured tissue is replaced with tissue identical to that present before the injury |
