What is the reaction called that involves the inflammation of the vein?

Venous inflammation
Vein engorgement
Venous thrombosis
Venous phlebitis

The correct answer is: Venous phlebitis

A Venous inflammation is not the specific term used to describe inflammation of the vein, making this option incorrect. B: Vein engorgement refers to when a vein becomes swollen or distended with blood, and does not necessarily involve inflammation. Therefore, this option is incorrect. C: Venous thrombosis refers to the formation of a blood clot within a vein, which is not the same as inflammation. This option is also incorrect. D: Venous phlebitis is the medical term used to describe inflammation of the vein. It is caused by damage to the vein, often due to an infection or injury, and can result in pain, swelling, and redness around the affected area. This is the correct answer.
