Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflammation is a response of the immune system to injury or infection, leading to the accumulation of immune cells (such as macrophages and neutrophils) at the site of damage. This process is part of the body's effort to protect and repair damaged tissue. Adipocytes (fat cells) and stress eating are not typically associated with inflammation, although chronic overeating can lead to low-grade inflammation in the body. Subcutaneous fat stores are not directly related to inflammation either.
