Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All five options listed are typical symptoms of inflammation. Redness and swelling occur due to increased blood flow and fluid accumulation in the affected area. Heat is a result of this increased blood flow. Pain results from the release of chemicals that stimulate nerve endings and cause discomfort. Finally, disturbance of function can occur in the affected area due to the combination of the four other symptoms, as well as due to tissue damage or displacement.
