All of the following host tissue responses can be seen in acute inflammation, EXCEPT:
Exudation
Margination
Vasodilation
Granuloma formation
Vasodilation, margination and exudation are host tissue responses seen during acute inflammation. Granulomas are seen in chronic inflammation. The three major components of acute inflammation are: ? Alteration in vascular caliber that lead to an increase in blood flow. ? Emigration of the leukocytes from the microcirculation and their accumulation in the focus of injury. ? Structural changes in the microvasculature that permits the plasma proteins and leukocytes to leave the circulation.
