EVALUATION OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EXTRACT EFFECT OF Argemone mexicana ON ALBINO RATS INTRODUCTION 1.1 Inflammation: Inflammation could be defined as the complex biological response of vascular tissue to harmful stimuli such as pathogen‚ damaged cells or irritants. It is a protective attempt by the organism to remove injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue. This is achieved by diluting‚ destroying or otherwise neutralizing harmful agents (e.g. microbes or toxins)

Essay Pharmacology is the branch of medicine and biology that seeks to understand drugs and how they affect the body. It involves the analysis of how drugs interact with the biological function of the body and how these drugs react with each other‚ their natures‚ and their properties. All drugs are considered chemicals and when ingested into the body an affect from the drug takes place. According to Doweiko (1999)‚ “A drug is essentially a foreign chemical that is introduced into the individual’s
