Students have asked these similar questions
During the inflammatory response, the reasoning for the swelling at the site of inflammation is because
local blood vessels vasodilate bringing an increased volume of blood to the area
local blood vessels vasoconstrict causing lymph fluid to accumulate in the tissue space
when white blood cells are activated they begin to secrete plasma into the tissue space
local blood vessels become leaky allowing some plasma to leak out into the tissue space
Define inflammatory response
The classical sign calor, associated with inflammation, is the result of what
physiological event from the release of cytokines?
1) Dilation of blood vessels
O 2) Cytokines affecting the hypothalamus
O 3) Influx of fluid into the infected area
4) Cytokine recruitment of a large number of phagocytes to the area
