What else can I help you with?
The movement of leukocytes to the source of certain chemicals is called?
Chemotaxis
The attraction of leukocytes to chemicals released from damaged cells is?
called chemotaxis. Chemicals released from damaged cells act as signals that guide leukocytes to the site of injury or infection, helping to initiate the inflammatory response and target the source of damage for immune defense and repair.
How do leukocytes circulate through the body?
Leukocytes, or white blood cells, circulate through the body primarily via the bloodstream. They move between blood vessels and tissues by passing through the endothelial walls of blood vessels in a process called diapedesis. Once in the tissues, they can migrate toward sites of infection or inflammation by following chemical signals released by damaged cells or pathogens. This dynamic movement enables leukocytes to respond quickly to immune challenges.
What are protein substances made by leukocytes called?
Leukocytes make antibodies.
Leaky capillaries found in the bone marrow are called?
Leaky capillaries found in the bone marrow are called sinusoidal capillaries. These specialized capillaries allow larger cells like blood cells to move in and out of the bloodstream more easily due to their larger size and more permeable nature. This facilitates the movement of cells between the bone marrow and blood circulation.
What is it called if you have elevated leukocytes?
Leukemia.
What do you called for the increase leukocytes?
Lymphocytosis
Capillaries that have a incomplete lining are called?
continuous capillaries continuous capillaries
The microscopic blood vessels that connect arteries and veins are called what?
they are called capillaries
What are called leaky capillaries found in he one marrow?
Sinusoidal Capillaries
How does osmosis determine the movement of fluid between capillaries and interstitial fluid?
Fluid enters the lymphatic system (this system returns fluid and proteins to blood) by diffusing into lymph capillaries. This fluid is now called lymph and is kind of like interstitial fluid in composition. This movement of fluid is determined by net balance. It only diffuses into the capillaries if there isn't enough fluid there to begin with.
What are white blood cells that eliminate the chances of infection called?
They are called leukocytes.
