What are the steps in the inflammatory process in physiologic order from first to last?

The inflammatory process begins with the recognition of harmful stimuli, leading to the release of signaling molecules such as histamines and cytokines. This triggers vasodilation and increased vascular permeability, allowing immune cells and fluid to migrate to the affected tissue. Next, leukocytes, particularly neutrophils and macrophages, are recruited to engulf pathogens and debris. Finally, the resolution phase occurs, where anti-inflammatory signals help restore tissue homeostasis and promote healing.
