What WBC is the first to arrive in acute inflammation? |
|
Definition
Neutrophils. Phagocytic. Most readily affected by chemotaxis. Also 1st in bacterial infections (antibacterial) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Process by which somatic cells, bacteria, and other single-cell or multicellular organisms direct their movements according to certain chemicals in their environment. This is important for bacteria to find food (for example, glucose) by swimming towards the highest concentration of food molecules, or to flee from poisons (for example, phenol). In multicellular organisms, chemotaxis is critical to early development (e.g. movement of sperm towards the egg during fertilization) and subsequent phases of development (e.g. migration of neurons or lymphocytes) as well as in normal function. In addition, it has been recognized that mechanisms that allow chemotaxis in animals can be subverted during cancer metastasis. Positive chemotaxis occurs if the movement is towards a higher concentration of the chemical in question. Conversely, negative chemotaxis occurs if the movement is in the opposite direction. Chemotaxis is the process by which white blood cells are drawn to the site of inflammation. White blood cells recognize foreign particles through mannose and scavenger receptors. Opsonins are particles that bind to foreign material and signal leukocytes to remove it. |
