What is inflammation?
A type of infection
The body's response to injury
A chronic disease
A type of fever
Inflammation is defined as the local response of living tissues to injury due to any agent. What is the primary purpose of this response?
To cause pain
To eliminate or limit the spread of injurious agents
To induce chronic conditions
To promote infection
What is the key difference between inflammation and infection?
Inflammation involves harmful microbes; infection does not.
Infection is the body's response to harmful agents; inflammation is not.
Inflammation is the protective response; infection is the entrance of harmful microbes.
Infection is a chronic condition; inflammation is acute.
Which of the following is NOT a cause of inflammation?
Infective agents
Physical agents
Genetic agents
Chemical agents
