Inflammation is a local immune response produced by the cells towards the presence of any pathogenic or foreign body. The cellular pathway of inflammation are given below:
Trauma --> capillary endothelial injury --> Release of inflammatory mediators such as histamine --> Endothelial gap ----> Increased capillary permeability --> Increased plasma oncotic pressure ---> edema formation (causes pain it the nerves in that region are compressed )
The five signs of inflammation are,
The excessive blood flow to the inflamed area and stimulation of nociceptors due to compression causes redness, pain, and heat. Increased vascular permeability causes edema. Inflammation helps to prevent the spread of infections and injuries to other regions of the body.The signs of red, hot and inflammation at the site of surgery indicated post-operative infection, identified by inflammation.
