Detailed explanation-1: -(b) Histamine increases blood flow to the wound site, and increased vascular permeability allows fluid, proteins, phagocytes, and other immune cells to enter infected tissue. These events result in the swelling and reddening of the injured site, and the increased blood flow to the injured site causes it to feel warm.
Detailed explanation-2: -When a pathogen invades a tissue, it almost always elicits an inflammatory response. This response is characterized by pain, redness, heat, and swelling at the site of infection, all caused by changes in local blood vessels.
Detailed explanation-3: -Redness and heat are caused by increased blood flow. Swelling is the result of the increased movement of fluid and white blood cells into the injured area. The release of chemicals and the compression of nerves in the area of injury cause pain.
