Inflammation is the body's way of protecting itself against harmful stimulus such as pathogens, toxins or irritants. Acute inflammation is the initial response to injury or disease that appears within minutes or hours after entering the body. When acute inflammation occurs plasma and leukocytes (white blood cells) move to the area of injury. Chemical reactions with in the cells and tissue cause five distinct characteristics to appear. The five signs of inflammation are pain, redness, immobility, swelling and heat. As blood flow to the affected area increases, redness and heat appear. The more blood and fluid in the cells and tissues causes swelling. As the body releases chemicals the nerve endings are stimulated which causes pain. Once the injurious stimuli have been removed then inflammation and all of its symptoms will cease.
