Inflammation is a mechanism of innate immunity that responds to the attack of harmful stimuli. There are 5 signs of inflammation: redness,heat,swelling
pain and loss of function (the inflammatory process can cause tissue damage). This process is a generic response which means this isn't specific for only one harmful stimuli.
