A- Transient Vasoconstriction
(1) Transient Constriction of
the Blood Vessels: Caused
by a direct stimulating action
of the irritant on the vascular

B- Persistence Vasodilatation
Formation of transudates and exudates. A, Normal process (no fluid loss or gain)
B, A transudate is formed when fluid leaks out because of increased hydrostatic
pressure or decreased osmotic pressure. C, An exudate is formed in inflammation
because vascular permeability increases as a result of increased interendothelial
spaces
