Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edema refers to the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, causing swelling. This can occur in response to various factors such as inflammation, injury, or certain medical conditions. The fluid that leaks out of blood vessels and accumulates in tissues is typically an inflammatory exudate or transudate, which can lead to swelling and discomfort. Other options such as petechiae and ecchymoses refer to small areas of bleeding or bruising, dyscrasia refers to a blood disorder, and autologous transfusion refers to the process of using one's own blood for transfusion.
