Question

Which of the following is not a part of the inflammatory response?

Options

• Antibodies

• Swelling

• Redness

• Presence of histamine

Answer 1

Antibodies

Explanation:

Antibodies are specific immune proteins produced by B-cells as part of the adaptive immune response, but they are not directly part of the acute inflammatory response. Inflammation typically involves redness, swelling, heat, and pain at the affected site and the presence of histamine, which causes vasodilation and increased vascular permeability to allow immune cells to access the infected or injured tissue. Antibodies may arrive later in the immune response but are not components of the immediate inflammatory reaction itself.
