Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the listed responses are directly or indirectly the result of mediators of inflammation. Vasodilation allows for increased blood flow to bring immune cells to the site of injury or infection, while increased permeability allows for those immune cells to move out of blood vessels and into the tissue. Pain and symptoms of redness and heat are also common responses to inflammation.
