E)increased blood flow to the area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased permeability of blood vessels during inflammation allows for the leakage of fluid, including plasma proteins and immune cells, into the surrounding tissues. This leads to edema or swelling at the injury site. Redness, heat, and increased blood flow to the area are also common during inflammation, but they are not specifically caused by increased permeability of blood vessels. Removal of foreign material from the blood is not directly related to the permeability of blood vessels. Finally, increased permeability may affect the osmotic balance between blood and tissues, as the leakage of fluid and proteins can alter the concentration of solutes in both compartments.
