Regardless of whether the injury is ___________ _________, ______________ ____________ or ______________ substances there are four events that occur sequentially. Penetrating Trauma, Infectious Organisms, or Chemical Substances
The 1st event that occurs as a response to disease: Alteration in blood flow and vascular permeability
An increase in blood flow to the injury site is ______________. Hyperemia
The 1st response to disease will cause __________ and ____________ to become permeable allowing __________-rich __________ across vessel walls. Venules; Capillaries; Protein-rich; Plasma

What is a localized, usually encapsulated collection of pus? Abscess
A tumorlike mass of tissue caused by a chronic inflammatory process: Give an example: Granuloma; Tuberculosis
_____________ is bacteria in the blood. What makes this condition very dangerous? Bacteremia; Because it can travel and invade other organs and tissues
__________ is an abnormal amount of fluid in tissue spaces or body cavities. Edema
Generalized edema (________) becomes __________ and can produce swelling in tissues throughout the body. Anasarca; Systemic
____________ is a lack of blood supply to an organ or part of an organ causing the organ's cells and tissues to be deprived of oxygen and nutrients. Ischemia
