Final answer:

Inflammation in Marlene's wound caused pain due to increased edema, prostaglandins, and potential neuron injury.


Explanation:

The inflammation of Marlene's wound led to significant pain due to:

  1. Increased edema from altered capillary permeability: When the swelling compresses surrounding nerves, it applies pressure, causing pain.
  2. Prostaglandins: These substances released during inflammation activate pain neurons, contributing to the sensation of pain.
  3. Direct neuron injury: Pain may result from injury to neurons caused by certain pathogens or substances.
