Answer 1

1.When stroke occurs, the nerve cells in the damaged area of the brain die, causing an inflammation that attracts cells from the immune system But this is not all that they do: they also secrete substances that help the brain repair the damage

2.Attempts to dampen immune activation after stroke may have adverse effects because central nervous system injury causes significant immunodepression that places patients at higher risk of infections, such as pneumonia. ... Mounting evidence indicates that the immune system has a key role in brain injury.

3.The immune response plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis by preparing the body to fight off infection, and to help the healing process. During infection, the immune system will cause the body to develop a fever and an increase in blood flow to bring oxygen and other immune cells to where the infection is.
