Which of the following is NOT a true statement
about inflammation?
Substances released by invading bacteria
themselves are the molecules that initiate
inflammation
The last stage in inflammation is tissue
repair
Substances released from damaged body
cells attract phagocytic leukocytes to
the area
Inflammation can be triggered by physical
injury or infection
Phagocytic leukocytes migrate through the
walls of blood vessels into surrounding
tissues
The cardinal signs of inflammation includes all these except:
decreased temperature of the issues in the region
pain
increased temperature of the tissues in the region
swelling
Which of the following statements regarding inflammation is CORRECT?
-
The increase in temperature improves pathogen function
-
Increased vascular permeability helps immune cells access the site of infection quicker
-
Clotting increases immune cell access the site of infection
-
Vasodilation is not a characteristic of inflammation in any way
