Phases of Inflammation: Vascular Permeability - Inflammation stimulates blood vessel dilation and opening of capillary pores. Capillary pores allows fluid and cells (WBCs and platelets) to arrive at site of injury. Phases of Inflammation: Cellular Chemotaxis - Chemical signal that calls out to WBC's to site of injury. Results in leukocytosis, where WBCs are released from the bone marrow and into the blood stream. **Doctor is able to analyze the type of WBC and number of WBCs to determine ...
