Question

this exam is 60 questions and you will have 90 minutes to complete this exam. this exam will cover vessels/pressure, and lymphatics, and immune system. question 26 1.67 pts inflamed tissue feels warm due to chemotaxis and defervescence. the margination of white blood cells. activation of complement by binding of c - reactive protein to bacterial carbohydrates. increased blood flow and increased metabolic activity.

Explanation:

Inflammation causes blood vessels to dilate (vasodilation), increasing blood - flow to the inflamed area. Additionally, the metabolic activity of cells in the inflamed tissue increases. These two factors lead to the warm sensation in inflamed tissue. Chemotaxis is the movement of cells in response to chemical stimuli and defervescence is the subsidence of a fever. Margination of white - blood cells is part of the immune response but not directly related to the warmth. Activation of complement by C - reactive protein binding is also part of the immune response and not the cause of warmth.

Answer:

D. increased blood flow and increased metabolic activity.
