Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The complement system, the clotting system, and the kinin system are normally in inactive forms but can activate in a series as proenzymes and are involved in the inflammatory process. This system is not associated with phagocytosis, granulocyte production, or the activation of interfer-on.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Increased vascular permeability and leakage of fluid out of the vessel cause edema at the site of injury. Vasodilation occurs, bringing increased RBCs to the site and causing redness.
