Summary Introduction
To determine:
The circumstances under which inflammatory response (fluid leak from capillaries) might be dangerous, or even life-threatening.
Introduction:
In response to heat, toxin, trauma, and injury by a pathogen, the mast cell releases the histamine and other chemicals, and it results in inflammatory response produced by the body in that particular part/organ. It all results in pain, itching, or swelling.

- During the inflammatory response, the reasoning for the swelling at the site of inflammation is because local blood vessels vasodilate bringing an increased volume of blood to the area local blood vessels vasoconstrict causing lymph fluid to accumulate in the tissue space when white blood cells are activated they begin to secrete plasma into the tissue space local blood vessels become leaky allowing some plasma to leak out into the tissue spacearrow_forwardWhen inflammation occurs what is the first defending cell to respond?arrow_forwardWill has just been diagnosed with melanoma on the anteromedial surface of his thigh.

If cancer cells are found in the lymph nodes, Will may have some lymph nodes surgically removed.
