What else can I help you with?
What wbc undergo diapedesis?
leukocytes
What is it called when a white blood cell squeezes through a blood vessel to attack infections?
The movement of the WBC through a capillary is called diapedesis. In very general terms it is also called extravasation
Diapedesis refers to the ability of a WBC to squeeze through the tiny gaps between adjacent endothelial cells in the vessel wall and enter tissues?
Yes, that is correct. Diapedesis is the process by which white blood cells (WBCs) exit blood vessels by squeezing through the gaps between endothelial cells lining the vessel walls. This allows WBCs to migrate towards sites of infection or inflammation in the body.
What is the life span of antibodies and antigens?
Since the antibodies are a part of WBC's they ought to have a life equal to the WBC's
What is the squeezing between cells?
diapedesis
Does diapedesis only occur with leukocytes?
Yes.
What is the movement of leukocytes through capillary walls?
diapedesis
Movement of leukocytes from capillaries to damaged tissue is called?
Diapedesis
Do certain wbc take in bacterial cells?
Phagocytes are white blood cells that can take in, or "swallow," bacteria.
White blood cells move into and out of blood vessels by the process of chemotaxis?
yes! due to signals drawing them towards the site of inflammation produced by cytokines :)
Is diapedesis the process by which red blood cells move into tissue spaces from the interior of blood capillaries?
Yes, Diapedesis is a process by which "white blood cells" escape from the capillaries into the tissue spaces, but not RBCs and Platlets.
What part of the blood contains the other 3 parts?
Plasma, contains RBC, WBC and proteins
