Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inflammatory responses involve the activation and recruitment of phagocytes to the site of inflammation to help clear away pathogens or damaged tissue. This is typically accompanied by increased blood flow to the area, rather than decreased blood supply, and increased permeability of blood vessels to allow immune cells to enter the site. There is no inhibition of white blood cell release from the bone marrow during an inflammatory response.
