Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kinin system mediates inflammation by causing increased dilation of the blood vessels at the site of injury and increases the permeability of local blood vessels. The clotting mechanism functions primarily in the clotting of blood. The complement system involves the production of a sequential cascade of plasma proteins that function in inflammation and immunity. Lysosomal enzymes are released from granules in the white blood cells; they act as chemotactic factors and can cause damage to connective tissues and the clot that has formed at the site of injury.
