Answer:

The inflammatory response is a type of body response produced in response to damaged tissue, attack of pathogen and or any other cause.

The body shows an inflammatory response in the following manner:

1. Recognition of stimulus- receptors recognize the antigens.

2. Release of inflammatory markers: affected cells produce chemicals like histamine, bradykinin, and prostaglandins.

3. Vascular permeability changes and leukocyte (WBC) recruitment- released chemicals causes the blood vessels to leak fluid causing swelling and attract WBC.

4. Accumulation of leukocytes- WBC performs the process of phagocytosis which eats dead or damaged cells and germs.

Answer:

Inflammatory response occurs when the tissues are injured as a result of bacteria, trauma, heat or any other cause.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a honey bee stings or a pathogen attacks the damaged cells release chemicals.

Chemicals includes

  • histamine
  • bradykinin
  • and prostaglandins.

These chemicals cause blood vessels to leak fluid into the tissues, causing swelling.

Processes happened during Inflammatory response:

  1. heat
  2. pain
  3. redness
  4. swelling and
  5. loss of function.

Inflammation is a defense mechanism in the body. The immune system recognizes damaged cells, irritants, and pathogens, and it begins the healing process. Chronic inflammation can eventually cause several diseases and conditions.
