Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When inflammation happens, chemicals from your body’s white blood cells enter your blood or tissues to protect your body from invaders. This raises the blood flow to the area of injury or infection.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inflammation is the immune system’s response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, toxic compounds, or irradiation [1], and acts by removing injurious stimuli and initiating the healing process [2]. Inflammation is therefore a defense mechanism that is vital to health [3].

Detailed explanation-3: -Inflammation is an important component of the innate immune response, which is the body’s first line of defense against infection. Inflammatory mediators enhance the responses of immune cells to potential infections, by: Increasing blood flow and movement of immune cells into the inflamed tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process of inflammation is designed to be helpful to the body in repairing injury. It should be an acute (or very fast) response whereby the immune cells quickly remove damaged tissue and destroy any invading micro-organisms.
