Which of the following statements is true regarding the acute inflammatory response?
A
It is a rapid, short-term response to tissue injury or infection.
B
It involves the long-term activation of lymphocytes and memory cells.
C
It typically results in the formation of granulomas over several months.
D
It is characterized by the production of antibodies as the primary defense.
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the concept of acute inflammatory response. Acute inflammation is the body's immediate and short-term response to tissue injury or infection, aimed at eliminating the cause of injury and initiating repair.
Step 2: Analyze the characteristics of acute inflammation. It is rapid and typically lasts for a few days to weeks. It involves the activation of innate immune cells like neutrophils, macrophages, and mast cells, rather than lymphocytes or memory cells.
Step 3: Compare acute inflammation with chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation is long-term and involves adaptive immune responses, including lymphocytes and memory cells, which are not characteristic of acute inflammation.
Step 4: Evaluate the incorrect options. Formation of granulomas and antibody production are associated with chronic inflammation or specific immune responses, not acute inflammation.
Step 5: Identify the correct statement. Acute inflammation is rapid and short-term, making the first option the correct description of the acute inflammatory response.
