Inflammation. This part is called inflammation, and it is a series of defensive biological reactions to harmful agents that leads to pain, redness, swelling and heat in the affected areas of the body.

Inflammation is the bodyâs reaction to invasion by an infectious agent, antigen or even just physical, chemical or traumatic damage. The inflammatory reaction is one of the bodyâs oldest defense mechanisms. When damage occurs the bodyâs automatic defense system starts the inflammatory process within seconds. Blood flow is increased at the point of injury, the blood vessels expands to allow oxygen, clotting agents and white blood cells to penetrate the damaged tissues.
