Innate Immune System Response to Tissue Injury
This concept map provides a comprehensive overview of the innate immune response to injury, delineating key pathways and their interconnections. It generally classifies the response into categories such as adaptive immunity, wound healing, the complement cascade, the coagulation cascade, and the kinin-bradykinin system—elucidating their respective roles in mounting a defense against tissue injury and infection. Furthermore, this map links these pathways to their “patho-toxic” (bactericidal) endpoints as well as related clinical manifestations, disease processes, and treatments.

Cerebrovascular Circle (of Willis)
This diagram is a comprehensive pictographic representation of the Circle of Willis (COW), a vital neuromuscular network located at the base of the brain. The diagram highlights the potential consequences that may arise due to vessel damage during strokes. By visually indicating which brain regions are affected, viewers gain insight into functional defects as it relates to the major branches of the COW and their relation to certain cranial nerves.
