Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the concept of inflammation, which is the body's response to injury or infection, involving a series of coordinated events to eliminate harmful agents and repair tissue.

Step 2: Recognize the key processes involved in inflammation: vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), increased vascular permeability (allowing immune cells and proteins to exit the bloodstream), phagocyte migration (movement of immune cells to the site of injury), and tissue repair (restoration of damaged tissue).

Step 3: Analyze the chronological order of these processes. Vasodilation occurs first to increase blood flow to the affected area, followed by increased vascular permeability to allow immune cells and proteins to access the site of injury.

Step 4: Next, phagocyte migration occurs, where immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages move to the site of injury to engulf and destroy pathogens or debris.

Step 5: Finally, tissue repair takes place, where the damaged tissue is replaced or regenerated to restore normal function.
