Inflammation is a biological response to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. A) When cells are damaged, nearby vessels dilate (get bigger) to increase blood flow to the area. B) The increased permeability of the vessels allows fluids, proteins, and white blood cells to escape into the tissues, causing swelling. C) The accumulation of dead white blood cells, bacteria, and damaged tissue cells can produce pus. E) Inflammation often causes pain due to the release of chemicals that stimulate nerve endings. D) is incorrect because inflammation does not directly cause bleeding and inability to clot; rather, it involves the clotting process as part of the healing mechanism.
