The Inflammatory Response Is Characterized by Four Classic Symptoms: Heat

question 34

True/False

The inflammatory response is characterized by four classic symptoms: heat, redness, pain, and swelling. In some instances, this response can be triggered by stimuli that are non-infectious such as asbestos, a process known as 'sterile inflammation.' When exposure to the stimulating trigger is persistent, a state of chronic inflammation can result. This process is likely to be detrimental to the health of the host.
