Chemical Mediators of Inflammation Explained
Chemical mediators of inflammation are signaling molecules released by cells during the inflammatory response. They are often grouped into families such as cell-derived amines (histamine, serotonin), arachidonic acid metabolites (prostaglandins, leukotrienes), cytokines (TNF-alpha, interleukins) and the complement system. Each family acts on vessels, immune cells and tissues in different ways.
- Amines: histamine and serotonin, released from mast cells and platelets
- Lipid mediators: prostaglandins and leukotrienes made from arachidonic acid
- Cytokines: proteins such as TNF-alpha and IL-1 that coordinate immune responses
- Complement: plasma proteins that opsonize pathogens and recruit neutrophils
Use the map to compare sources, actions and drug targets before an exam. CogniGuide can build a personalized version from your own notes in a few minutes.

Inflammation Mediators FAQ
Common questions about the chemical mediators and how to map them.
What is the main role of chemical mediators in inflammation?
They signal between cells to increase vessel permeability, recruit leukocytes, produce pain and fever, and coordinate tissue repair. Different mediators dominate at different stages of the response.
Why are histamine and prostaglandins often compared?
Both are early mediators with strong vascular effects, but histamine acts quickly from preformed stores while prostaglandins are synthesized on demand from arachidonic acid.
Which file types can I use to build this map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of notes, and the AI will turn them into a mind map.
Is it free, and can I turn the map into a quiz?
There is a free plan with 5 creations a week and no payment needed. Finished maps can be turned into a quiz to test yourself.
