(SOLVED) Is inflammation good or bad? Explain. List five cardinal signs of inflammation and explain the mechanism for(what causes) at least two of them? .

Answer:-Inflammation actually is good in the short run. It's part of your immune system's natural response to heal an injury or fight an infection. It's supposed to stop after that. But if it becomes a long-lasting habit in your body, that can be bad for you.

characterised inflammation by five cardinal signs, namely redness (rubor), swelling (tumour), heat (calor; only applicable to the body' extremities), pain (dolor) and loss of function (functio laesa).

Mechanism of swelling:- Swelling is the result of the increased movement of fluid and white blood cells into the injured area. The release of chemicals and the compression of nerves in the area of injury cause pain. The pain and swelling can keep the athlete from using the injured part, serving to protect it from further injury.

Mechanism of redness:- Redness is caused by the dilation of small blood vessels in the area of injury. Heat results from increased blood flow through the area and is experienced only in peripheral parts of the body such as the skin.
