Inflammation
Topic: Anatomy & physiology
The protective vascular and cellular response to tissue injury or infection. Its five cardinal signs are redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function; vasodilation and increased permeability bring leukocytes to the site. Watch wounds and catheter sites for these signs and help distinguish inflammation from infection.
