Inflammation

Inflammation is the immunological reaction that triggers a specific response in tissues that have access to the vascular system. The classical signs of inflammation; rubor (redness), calor (heat), dolor (pain), tumor (swelling), and functio laesa (loss of function); are present only if the inflammation occurs near skin surface. If internal organs are affected inflammation is rather defined histological as infiltration, exudate, and fibrosis.
