the signs of pain, heat, redness, swelling, and loss of function. Histologically,
inflammation involves a complex series of events, including dilatation of arterioles,
capillaries, and venules, with increased permeability and blood flow; exudation of
fluids, including plasma proteins; and leukocyte migration into the site of inflammation.;
