B. Leakage of fluid through permeable capillaries into the connective tissue of the cheek
C. Congestion of tissues caused by dilation of capillaries
D. Accumulation of leukocytes in the injured area

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is A. Profuse bleeding.

Explanation:

The acute response can be described as an early or immediate response of the tissue to injury. It is always for a short period of time.

Acute inflammation involves some processes which are initiated in order to limit damage to tissues.

The acute inflammatory process include pain, redness, immobility, swelling and heat.

In this case, profuse bleeding is the only one that is not part of the processes.

Therefore, the young man will not experience profuse bleeding.
