Answer to Question 1

1
The symptoms of the inflammatory process are redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Reduced urine output, thirst, elevated blood pressure, and slow heart rate are not symptoms of the inflammatory process.

Answer to Question 2

4
Monocytes are phagocytic but in a smaller amount than neutrophils. Basophils are stimulated by allergens and eosinophils by parasites. Neutrophils are the chief phagocytic cells and are present in larger numbers as a response to early inflammation.
