Create a flowchart covering the body’s inflammatory response by beginning with a specific event of your choice that would initiate inflammation. (examples; cut, bee sting, stepping on a nail, etc.) In your flowchart, include the timeline of events that would occur internally and externally to the body, the mediators of the inflammatory response, what factors could influence the outcome, and how could it be treated.
When you have finished your flowchart, think about how you would explain the process to a friend, family member, or a small child. Write a summary of the flowchart explaining the process.
