Is caused by vasodilatation
Redness
Results mainly from fluid exudates accumulation consequent to increased vascular permeability.
Swelling
The sensation of ____ is attributable to rapid inflow of warm blood through dilated vessels in an inflamed area.
Heat
Can be due to distension/compression of tissue and factors such as release of vasoactove chemicals
Pain
Can be due to distension/compression of tissue and factors such as release of vasoactove chemicals
Pain
Added to prevent using the parts that hurts.
Loss of function
Added to prevent using the parts that hurts.
Loss of function
The escape of fluids and blood cells from the vascular system into the insterstitial tissue or body cavities
Exudation
a fluid with low protein content and a specific gravity of less than 1.020
transudate
denotes an excess of fluid in the interstitial tissue or serous cavities; it can be either an exudates or a transudates
edema
