Please order the following choices to reflect the stages of the inflammatory response, from the first to the last.

> Neutrophils clean up the area by phagocytosis of microbes and dead cells; accumulation can contribute to pus. > Chemical mediators are released by tissue cells in response to injury or infection. > Vasodilation of the blood vessels to increase blood flow > Permeability of the capillaries increases, allowing plasma and WBCs to exit the blood vessels into the inflamed tissue. > Regeneration of the tissue or formation of scar tissue completes the repair process. > WBCs migrate through the tissue spaces toward the actual site of injury or infection.
