Q

Inflammation Process

A
  1. Chemical signals = Neutrophilia
  2. Neutrophils stick to capillary walls
  3. Blood vessels dilate and margination occurs
  4. Chemotaxis

Q

Phagocytosis Process

A
  1. Phagocyte adheres to pathogen
  2. Pseaudopods = phagosome formed
  3. Lysosome + phagosome = phagolysosome
  4. Pathogen destroyed
  5. Exocytosis (sometimes)
