The process by which neutrophils migrate through the VEC into the tissues is known as:
A) Chemotaxis
B) Opsonization
C) Diapedesis
D) Phagocytosis

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process by which neutrophils migrate through the VEC (vascular endothelial cells) into the tissues is known as diapedesis. Chemotaxis refers to the directional movement of cells along a chemical gradient. Opsonization is the process by which pathogens are coated with antibodies or complement proteins, making them more recognizable to phagocytes. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf and digest foreign particles.
