  2. Leukocyte extravasation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leukocyte_extravasation

    Neutrophils extravasate from blood vessels to the site of tissue injury or infection during the innate immune response.. In immunology, leukocyte extravasation (also commonly known as leukocyte adhesion cascade or diapedesis – the passage of cells through the intact vessel wall) is the movement of leukocytes (white blood cells) out of the circulatory system (extravasation) and towards the ...

  3. Extravasation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extravasation

    Extravasation of irrigation fluid is the unintended migration of irrigation fluid (e.g., saline) introduced into a human body.This may occur in several types of endoscopic surgery, such as minimally invasive orthopedic surgery, i.e., arthroscopy, TURP (trans-urethral resection of the prostate), and TCRE (trans-cervical resection of the endometrium).

  4. Inflammation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammation

    The process of leukocyte movement from the blood to the tissues through the blood vessels is known as extravasation and can be broadly divided up into a number of steps: Leukocyte margination and endothelial adhesion: The white blood cells within the vessels which are generally centrally located move peripherally towards the walls of the ...

  5. High endothelial venules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_endothelial_venules

    In contrast to the endothelial cells from other vessels, the high endothelial cells of HEVs have a distinctive appearance, consisting of a cuboidal morphology and with various receptors to interact with leukocytes (express specialized ligands for lymphocytes and are able to support high levels of lymphocyte extravasation). [4]

  6. Angiopellosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angiopellosis

    Angiopellosis allows for the extravasation of multiple cells during a single event. The blood vessel will actively remodel around a cluster/group of cells and allow the cells to exit in a single event. Diapedesis only allows for a single white blood cell to migrate across the blood vessel wall at a given time.

  7. White blood cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell

    The complete blood cell count is a blood panel that includes the overall white blood cell count and differential count, a count of each type of white blood cell. Reference ranges for blood tests specify the typical counts in healthy people. The normal total leucocyte count in an adult is 4000 to 11,000 per mm 3 of blood.

  8. Infiltration (medical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_(medical)

    During leukocyte extravasation, white blood cells move in response to cytokines from the blood into diseased or infected tissues, usually in the direction of a chemical gradient, [1] in a process called chemotaxis. The presence of lymphocytes in tissue in greater than normal numbers is likewise called infiltration.

  9. ICAM-1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICAM-1

    ICAM-1 is an endothelial- and leukocyte-associated transmembrane protein long known for its importance in stabilizing cell-cell interactions and facilitating leukocyte endothelial transmigration. More recently, ICAM-1 has been characterized as a site for the cellular entry of human rhinovirus . [ 13 ]
