← Human Body & HealthWhich outcome occurs during the inflammatory phase after rotator cuff tendon microtears?
A)Increased regional cell membrane permeability✓
B)Decreased levels of localized histamine
C)Reduced influx of immune cells
D)Elevated collagen fibril production
💡 Explanation
Increased cell membrane permeability leads to edema because vasodilation due to inflammation during tissue repair enhances fluid leakage. Therefore, option A, rather than decreased histamine or reduced immune cell influx, is the direct consequence early in the healing process.
