Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, F
The classic symptoms of acute inflammation include redness (erythema), heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function. Paleness would indicate poor circulation, not inflammation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C, D, E
Local manifestations of inflammation are the result of the vascular changes associated with the inflammatory process, including vasodilation and increased capillary permeability. The symptoms include redness, heat, swelling, and pain. Fever is a symptom of infection.
