White blood cells move through the bloodstream and tissues via a process called chemotaxis, where they respond to chemical signals released by pathogens or damaged tissues. They can squeeze through the walls of blood vessels in a process known as diapedesis, allowing them to reach sites of infection or injury. Once in the tissues, they use amoeboid movement, altering their shape to navigate through the extracellular matrix and effectively reach their target.
