QuestionAnswer
LEUKOCYTE-INDUCING FACTORS are released by: injured cells
LEUKOCYTE-INDUCING FACTORS help defense by: Promoting rapid neutrophil release from red bone marrow
LEUKOCYTOSIS is a sign of: inflammation
CHEMOTACTIC AGENTS are Inflammatory Chemicals that: attract WBC's to area
MARGINATION (PAVEMENTING) is whenneutrophils: cling to capillary walls as blood flow slows down
DIAPEDESIS (EMIGRATION) is: neutrophils squeeze thru capillaries walls & into tissue spaces
What follows neutrophils into tissue spaces? monocytes follow neutrophils within hours
Monocytes change from phagocytic slugs into: MACROPHAGES-insatiable consumers
MACROPHAGES have lots of: lysosomes in their cytoplasm
Macrophages replace neutrophils: as primary agents at inflammation site
Macrophages are dominate at: sites of chronic inflammation

Phagocytosis is what type of defense? NON SPECIFIC BODY DEFENSE (NBD)
Phagocytes specialize in the: engulfment of foreign pathogens on a grand scale
Phagocytes have large numbers of: LYSOSOMES in the cytoplasm
RESPIRATORY BLAST is an alternative: method of pathogen destruction
RESPIRATORY BLAST is a form of defense where chemicals from the immune system: stimulate the phagocyte cells to release free radicals to destroy invaders
