for example sarala when you are watering plants through ground pipeline when pipeline breaks under the earth what will happen the plants will die with out water just like that when it breaks the area cells will get damage and swell.
sasi, your explanation is very good and its is true also.. you have good knowledge and the way you presented the example is nice.. keep it up..
Being a medical student I think I could explain this to you in a better way. Just understand a thing clearly.If our body is attacked by any foreign antigen our immunity produces inflammation. Inflammation has 5 components.
1. Pain 2.Swelling 3.Erythema (Redness) 4.Hardening 5.Fever.
Fever is not due to infection persay. It is our body's response to the infection.
When there is a fracture the blood vessels around it especially arteries and also veins are damaged. So there is oozing of blood which clots at the site of fracture which we call haematoma. This is responsible for swelling.Nature's gift is that haematoma is the only thing responsible for fracture healing also.
