    immune cells activated to fight infection or injury

    Inflammatory cells are a type of immune cell that are activated in response to injury or infection. They include various cell types such as neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes, which work together to eliminate pathogens, clear damaged tissue, and initiate the healing process. These cells release signaling molecules called cytokines that help coordinate the body's defense mechanisms.
