Question

Inflammatory response is a nonspecific response to?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: c. Any tissue injury

Inflammatory response is body reaction to disease or injury. Injury triggers an inflammatory response in order to recruit cells (phagocytes come to the damaged area and destroy present microorganisms) and chemicals to the site of the damage to repair it. This process is called inflammation. Inflammation is accompanied by signs and symptoms that include heat, swelling, redness, and pain and it is controlled by the nervous stimulation and chemical substances-cytokines.
