HELP ASAP PLZ!!! Read the scenario: You are walking a trail in the woods. You notice something out of the corner of your eye and you want to go investigate, however, the path to get to it has multiple trees that have fallen down from a storm. As you start to climb over the fallen trees, you fall and cut your knee. You decide to go back to the path and go home to clean up your cut. The next day, you notice that your cut feels warm. Describe what is happening during your immune response and explain why the surrounding area feels warm.

when you get a wound or incision the body sends a infection-fighting blood cells to the location of the wound.

The warmth and redness of the surrounding area of the cut is due to the immune system.

Blood carries white blood cells, which attacks pathogens (Cause of infection)

The surface become red and warm as that is a conjugating area of blood.
