a Neutrophils

b – Lymphocytes

C-Endothelial cells

d All of the above

C vasodilatation and increased vascular permeability

d spongy bone marrow 

• EXPLANATION -Acute inflammation occurs when the body reacts to injury or infection. And this time two things occur 1- -Vasodilatation,2-Increase vascular permeability.
• 1-Vasodilatation -More blood flows to the injured site and causes redness.
• 2-Increased vascular permeability -Fluids and proteins leak out from blood vessels into the tissue which causes swelling.

b -purulent drainage

c- primary  intention

d -increase leukocytes

Elevated WBC- Sign of infection 

purulent drainage – sign of infection 

Primary intention – Primary intention means wound healing, no pus

increase leukocytes- sign of infection 

Ans (c) primary intention

9. Hemorrhage with the collection of blood in the soft tissue is called
