margination
what causes edema during inflammation?
endothelial cells contract to create gaps and increase permeability of the vessels. this allows plasma to leak out and accumulate around the inflamed area.
what causes redness during inflammation?
endothelial cells contract to create gaps and increase permeability of the vessels. this allows plasma to leak out and accumulate around the inflammed area. smooth muscles are relaxed due to the effect of cytokines. this causes vasodilation and more blood flow surrounding the inflamed area.
what causes heat during inflammation?
smooth muscles are relaxed due to the effect of cytokines. this causes vasodilation and more blood flow surrounding the inflamed area.
what causes pain during inflammation?
bradykinin can activate nociceptors. also, due to the increase pressure outside of the blood vessels, nociceptors are activated.
