Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflammation is a response to tissue damage or infection. The purpose of inflammation is to eliminate the cause of the damage (such as bacteria or injured tissue) and to permit tissue repair to begin. This involves the recruitment of immune cells to the area to fight off pathogens and clean up damaged tissue. While inflammation can cause pain, this is not its primary purpose. Similarly, inflammation does not typically bring more red blood cells to the area or decrease tissue fluid formation.
