Acute Inflammation signs and symptoms:
• Rubor (redness) • Calor (heat) • Dolor (pain) • Tumor (swelling)
what did Galen add later to the inflammation symptoms

describe the pathway of Micro-circulation
Arterioles -> Capillaries -> Post-capillary venules
Between Arteriole and Capillaries, there is a
pre-capillary sphincter
