Inflammation literally means any type of swelling, redness, itching and burning sensation. It is the process when body's immune system detects an antigen and become ready and fight against them by using five different types of WBC's. Certain chemicals (immunoglobulins, cytokines etc.) from immune system are released into blood. Then they are carried to effected area where blood supply increases which results into redness and warmth. Release of eosinophils and IgE results into itching. Like this various WBC's work differently and as a whole the result is inflammation. Also tissue fluid accumulate at the target place which results in swelling.

The effects of inflammation can be both local and systemic or general. Local effects may be redness, swelling, pain, increase in temperature of affected area etc. Systemic or general inflammation may be fever, leukocytosis and vascular changes.

Answer:

Explanation:

When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body's white blood cells are released into the blood or affected tissues to protect your body from foreign substances. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection, and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This protective process may stimulate nerves and cause pain.
