Begin by understanding the cardinal signs of inflammation, which are classic symptoms that indicate the presence of inflammation in the body.
The cardinal signs of inflammation traditionally include: redness (rubor), heat (calor), swelling (tumor), and pain (dolor). These are the primary indicators of an inflammatory response.
Redness occurs due to increased blood flow to the affected area, while heat is a result of the increased blood flow and metabolic activity.
Swelling is caused by the accumulation of fluid in the tissues, and pain results from the release of chemicals that stimulate nerve endings.
Fever, although commonly associated with infection and inflammation, is not considered one of the cardinal signs of inflammation. It is a systemic response rather than a localized symptom.
