Sure, here's a concept map on the topic of inflammation:
1) Inflammation: is the body's reaction to damaged cells
|
----> 2) Complement system: part of the complement system
|
----> 3) Phagocytosis and cytolysis: includes phagocytosis and cytolysis
|
----> 4) Destruction of microbes
5) Inflammation: proteins like C3a and C5a bind to mast cells
|
----> 6) Activated fragments: C3a and C5a are activated fragments
|
----> 7) Release of histamines: allows histamines to be released
|
----> 8) Increased blood vessel permeability: histamine increases blood vessel permeability during inflammation
9) Activated fragments: organized by upper case C (1-9) and lower case a/b
|
----> 10) Attraction of phagocytes: C5a attracts phagocytes to the inflammation site
