C
Inflammation is a protective vascular reaction that delivers fluid, blood products, and nutrients to interstitial tissues in an area of injury. This process neutralizes and eliminates pathogens or ne-crotic tissues and establishes a means of repairing body cells and tissues. Signs of inflammation include swelling, redness (not blanching), heat, pain or tenderness, and loss of function in the affected body part.
