Acute inflammation has 2 stages
First is vascular stage, with initial vasoconstriction, then subsequent vasodilatation.
Capillary becomes leaky, where fluid accumulated at interstitial space causing edema

Second stage is cellular stage, which involved all the inflammatory mediators and phagocytosis of antigen. With formation of APC and manifestation of cardinal signs of inflammation
