Inflammatory response is a defense activity. Inflammation formed in the body due to the changes in the wall of blood capillaries in a part of the body that affected a wound. When germs enter through – the wound, changes occur in the capillary wall of that part. It leads to inflammation. Flow of blood through these capillaries increases and as a result more leucocytes come out from the capillaries and destroy the germs by engulfing them.
The affected parts swell and become red-colored due to the arrival of more blood at the affected part of the capillaries.
