2. The vascular, hemodynamic stage of acute inflammation is initiated by
momentary vasoconstriction followed by vasodilation that causes localized:

movement of leukocytes into the area. Which of the following cells
arrives early in great numbers?

B) Lymphocytes
C) Neutrophils

,D) Platelets

4. The phagocytosis process involves three distinct steps. What is
the initial step in the process?
A) Engulfment

B) Intracellular killing
C) Antigen margination
D) Recognition and adherence


5. Which of the following mediators of inflammation causes increased
capillary permeability and pain?
