Catarrh begins BY congestion Of the
blood vessels OF a mucous membrane
Any mucous membrane is made up
mostly of minute blood vessels, called
capillaries- Cold OF irritation of any
sort is liable TO produce congestion of
these capilIaries. If the irritation is
slight and is quickly removed the con-
gestion very soon disappears and no
bad results obtains But if the irri
tation is repeated many times or is
long continued a chronic condition of
congestion of the mucous membranes
may occur. This is ordinarily called
catarrh-
The blood no longer circulates freely
in the small blood vessels that COM
pose the mucous membrane The blood
becomes damned up to the vessels,
causing the vessels to swell up and
the blood TO stagnate and the serum
of the blood to exude from the walls
of the blood vessels. producing dis
charges.
