Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased permeability of blood vessels during the inflammatory process allows for the movement of neutrophils, the occurrence of edema, the diffusion of fibrin, and increased tissue pressure leading to pain. However, pus does not leak out of blood vessels; it is a product of the inflammatory response that accumulates in the tissue as a result of the immune response to infection, not a direct result of increased vascular permeability.
