Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inflammatory response is the immediate and coordinated sequence of events that the body mounts in response to tissue damage. This response involves the release of histamine and prostaglandins which cause dilation and increased permeability of blood vessels, leading to swelling, redness, and heat in the affected area. This response helps to deliver immune cells and healing molecules to the site of injury, and also serves to contain and eliminate any pathogens that may have caused the damage. The specific immune response is a separate process that involves the targeting of specific pathogens by immune cells and antibodies.
