Phagocyte Emigration:Occurs within one hour, neutrophils and then monocytes arrive and leave the blood stream(emigration) as a result of chemotaxis.3. Initiation of Tissue Repair:Neutrophils and macrophages (short life span) die and form pus. This begins the tissue repair process. Pus eventually drains.
