But they damage the vessels' walls, causing dilation and rubor, and letting out white cells and antibody proteins. Fluid oozes from blood vessels into the tissues, causing tumor and dolor. Biochemical signals sent through the blood and lymph systems call for the production of more infection-fighting white cells and antibodies. If the threat has been great enough, the inflammation suffuses the whole body, creating a generalized calor-fever. In its final stages, inflammation stimulates the production...
