the passage of blood cells, esp. leukocytes, through the unruptured walls of the capillaries into the tissues.
Leukocyte extravasation is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system, towards the site of tissue damage or infection. This process forms part of the innate immune response, involving the recruitment of non-specific leukocytes. Monocytes also use this process in the absence of infection or tissue damage during their development into macrophages.

What is the Process by which white blood cells actually pass through the vessel wall into surrounding tissue?

White blood cells pass through the vessel wall into surrounding tissue through a process called diapedesis. During diapedesis, the white blood cell first attaches to the endothelial cells lining the blood vessel. It then squeezes through these cells to reach the surrounding tissue where it can carry out its immune functions.

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.


What is it called when a white blood cell squeezes through a blood vessel to attack infections?

Blood contains red blood cells. Red blood cells don't contain blood. Blood does not enter the red blood cell.


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 :)
