Occurs when the innate immune system is attempting to flush a specific area with phagocytes.?

Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection. It is a complex process involving the release of chemicals and proteins that cause the blood vessels to dilate and become more permeable, allowing fluid and white blood cells to enter the affected area. This increased blood flow and fluid helps to flush the area of debris and pathogens, and the white blood cells can help to kill bacteria and other microorganisms.
