Answer to Question 1

A
The swelling brought on by the fluid that collects at the site compresses nerves, causing pain.

Answer to Question 2

A
Immature white blood cells are released when the more mature circulating cells have not been able to combat an ongoing bacterial infection. Eosinophils increase in response to allergic reac-tions, and red blood cells are associated with anemia. An increase in lymphocytes is seen with a viral infection.
