b) Cellular response
c) Formation of exudate and
d) Wound healing.
 Vascular Response
Any cell injury
Arterioles in the area under go vaso constriction
The vessels dilate
Increase the flow of blood in the area
Increase the capillary permeability and endothelial
cell retraction
Movement of fluid from capillaries to tissue spaces
Formation of exudate(consists of serous fluid and
plasma protein)
 Plasma protein increases the oncotic pressue
Increases fluid in the
tissue Spaces
Edema
