During the inflammatory response, the reasoning for the heat felt at the site of inflammation is because local blood vessels vasoconstrict causing a reduction in local cell metabolism local blood vessels vasodilate bringing an increased volume of water to the area which retains heat local blood vessels vasodilate causing an increase in local cell metabolism when white blood cells are activated they become hotter

Briefly describe a common but stressful situation that could occur over many weeks or months. Why is it that the body’s response in this situation could result in ill health?
Explain why each choice (a-d) is correct or incorrect. All but one of the following occurs during the inflammatory response. Select the example below that does NOT describe the process of inflammation. a. Inflammation increases capillary permeability. b. Chemotaxis draws leucocytes to the site of injury. c. Vasoconstriction prevents excessive blood loss due to injury. d. Release of prostaglandins results in pain.
Which of the following is not a characteristic of inflammation? a. inactivation of macrophages b. increased vascular permeability and edema c. vasodilation d. pain e. influx of leukocytes.
When macrophages in a tissue encounter bacteria, they release cytokines that induce an inflammatory response. These cytokines act on other immune cells, to recruit them to the site of infection and to enhance their activities. In addition, these cytokines act on the endothelial cells of the blood vessel wall to: Increase their permeability, allowing fluid and proteins to leak into the tissue Solidify the tight junctions to prevent the bacteria from entering the blood Proliferate, allowing the blood vessel to enlarge Up-regulate microbicidal mechanisms, so they can kill bacteria Secrete anti-microbial peptides
Tissue fluid returns to the central circulation through a series of tubules whose nodes contain macrophages to clean out microbes. This fluid is called ___. plasma lymph fibrinogen blood
The early events of inflammation are characterized by all of the following except _____. a. vasodilation b. extravasation c. pain d. apoptosis e. increased vascular permeability f. chemotaxis.

The organ that contains red pulp, which filters the blood, andwhite pulp, where lymphocytes respond to antigens in theblood, is thea. bone marrow. c. spleen.b. lymph node. d. thymus.
is a group of plasma proteins thatwhen activated stimulate inflammation,attract phagocytes, and enhancephagocytosis.
When cells are damaged, they release chemicals which: cause capillaries to constrict cause capillaries to dilate cause veins to drain blood from the area faster than usual cause the number of macrophages in the body to decrease
