Acute Inflammation Morphology
Acute inflammation can different depending on the underlying events occurring in your body.
When vascular permeability is slightly increased and clear fluid begins to accumulate in cavities or spaces, this is serous inflammation.
Larger increases in vascular permeability allow proteins like fibrinogen to exit circulation and be deposited in cavities or spaces, turning into fibrin. If not removed, this fibrin can cause eventual scar formation.
Purulent inflammation occurs when pus producing bacteria gets trapped in tissue.
Lastly ulcers, or ulceration, occurs when inflammation occurs near the surface of a tissue and dead cells begin sloughing off - something commonly seen on the skin surface or in the GI tract.
