Veterinary pathology. 162 VETERI-XARV PATH(iLU(;y. duce inflammation, and necrotic areas are usually surrounded by an inflammatorv zone. Inflammation is confined to the reactiA-e process of the injured cells and should not be confused with the death of the cells or necrosis. Degeneration and regeneration are distinctly opposite pro- cesses. The former is destructive, resulting in impairment and death, Avhile the latter is constructive, resulting in overgrowth and proliferation. Degeneration is caused by insufficient food, inhibition of irritating pruducts, or excessive and frerpiently perverted functional activity. Regeneration occurs when there is an adequate supply of nutrition, and depends upon the rcver-. a. Alvi-iilus b.

Both processes affect the cellular elements of the tissues, primarily and actively, and the intercellular substances secondarily and passively. Some will be mentioned later. The leucocj'tes and wander- ing cells mav also undergo changes similar to those which the fixed tissue cells are subject. In general, degeneration character- izes acute inflammation and regeneration characterizes chronic inflammation. The importance of either of the above processes depends upon their extent The general consideration of the two processes has been combined for the sake of comparison ; but thev will now be considered separately.
