Imagine you are helping your Grandmother prepare for the Thanksgiving meal and she asks you what you are studying. You have just finished studying about inflammation in your Immunology textbook and you find it fascinating. How would you describe the inflammatory response to your 85 year old Grandmother at Thanksgiving? Remember, your Grandmother does not have the same prior knowledge that you do in this subject matter, so you will need to explain it in a way that will resonate with her.

Describe how inflammation is initiated, the steps of initiation, the recruitment of the various cells and what their role is in this series of events, the hallmarks of an inflammatory response, how key cytokines can have a systemic effect, how inflammation is resolved or if not, how it persists, how the innate and inflammatory responses may be regulated, and how inflammation can be beneficial or harmful to the host.
