PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Inflammation is a response triggered by damage to living tissues. The inflammatory response is a defense mechanism that evolved in higher organisms to protect them from infection and injury.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is inflammation? Inflammation is the body’s normal, protective response to injuries or infections. It is triggered by the immune system, which is a cellular system within the body. The immune system monitors for injuries to the body and detects “intruders” such as bacteria and viruses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Inflammation is a response to stimulation by invading pathogens or endogenous signals such as damaged cells that results in tissue repair or pathology. While it is known that pathogens trigger inflammatory response, tissue strain has been known to activate macrophages in the absence of pathogens [12, 14].

Detailed explanation-4: -The inflammatory response increases the amount of blood flow to the site of injury to get more nutrients and white blood cells to an area in need. To increase blood flow to the area, the blood vessels get wider (dilate).
