This question was posed to me during an online exam.

I need to ask this question from Drug Addiction and Abuse in division Local & General Anesthetics, Opioid Analgesics, Drug Addiction and Drug Abuse of Drug Biotechnology

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) Local blood vessel dilation

Explanation: Redness, swelling, heating, paining these signs are common during any inflammation reaction. The swelling is due to the influx of plasma proteins and phagocytic cells into the tissue spaces. The redness and heat is due to the local blood vessel dilation. And the pain is due to local release of enzymes and increased tissue pressure.
