How does an inflammatory response help white blood cells get to an infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated!: Inflammation causes the release of a large number of chemicals which attract white blood cells to the affected area. Also, the warmth and blood vessel dilation as a result of inflammation increases the blood flow to the area, increasing the number of white cells to the area.
