Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflammation brings more leukocytes (white blood cells) to the site of infection to fight off the invading pathogen. Option A and C are incorrect because inflammation is a natural response of the body's immune system and not caused by bacterial or viral activity to enhance the spread of disease. Option D is partially correct as swelling can impair bodily function, but inflammation can also aid in the healing process.
