What is the role of diapedisis and chemotaxis in the cellular stage of acute inflammation?

Diapedesis occurs when capillary permeability increases allowing the migration of monocytes through the capillary walls into tissues. Once there, monocytes are considered macrophages. This allows for full macrophage activity.


What is the function of diapedesis?

Diapedesis is the process by which white blood cells move from the bloodstream to tissues by squeezing through gaps in the vessel walls. This is an important step in the immune response, allowing white blood cells to reach sites of infection or inflammation to help fight off pathogens.
