Cytokines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale: Cytokines are signaling proteins that coordinate and amplify inflammation by activating immune and endothelial cells and promoting leukocyte recruitment. Some proinflammatory cytokines can also increase vascular permeability. Histamine and other vasoactive mediators cause vasodilation and increased vascular permeability associated with erythema and edema.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Main_Takeaway\"><\/span>Main Takeaway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The skin is made of the epidermis, which is an outer layer that acts as a protective barrier against the environment; the dermis, which primarily contains blood vessels and nerve endings; and the hypodermis, which is a layer of connective tissue that provides structural support to the skin. The <strong>skin <\/strong>also <strong>contains <\/strong>several <strong>immune cells <\/strong>that are<strong> responsible for phagocytizing invading pathogens, such as those that may have broken through the epidermis via a cut, scrape, or bite wound<\/strong>. <strong>When activated, immune cells release inflammatory molecules, like cytokines and histamine, which attract more immune cells to the site of injury.<\/strong> These inflammatory mediators promote vasodilation and increased capillary permeability, allowing plasma proteins and fluid to move into the surrounding tissues. The resulting immune response contributes to the classic signs of inflammation: heat, pain, redness, and swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorrect_Answer_Explanations\"><\/span>Incorrect Answer Explanations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>B. Keratin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> Keratin is a structural protein found in epidermal keratinocytes and contributes to the skin\u2019s protective barrier. It does not function as an inflammatory signaling molecule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C. Antibodies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> Antibodies are proteins produced in response to the recognition of a pathogen by the immune system. They are not responsible for the signs of inflammation, such as redness and swelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>D. Collagen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Rationale:<\/strong> Collagen is a structural protein found throughout the dermal extracellular matrix. It provides strength and structural support to the skin but does not function as an inflammatory signaling molecule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Want_to_learn_more_about_this_topic\"><\/span>Want to learn more about this topic?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Watch the Osmosis video: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/learn\/Animal_and_snake_bites:_Nursing\">Animal and snake bites: Nursing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/plans\/rn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/Blog_Display_Ads_RN2_2023.png?w=700\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/Blog_Display_Ads_RN2_2023.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/01\/Blog_Display_Ads_RN2_2023.png?resize=300,107 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Get your&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/plans\/rn\">free trial<\/a>&nbsp;now to find out why future<\/em> <em>clinicians and caregivers love learning by Osmosis<\/em><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A patient develops localized redness and swelling after a dog bite.
