Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Diapedesis is the migration of white blood cells from the blood, out to the tissues
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Diapedesis is the movement or passage of blood cells, especially white blood cells, through intact capillary walls into surrounding body tissue; also called migration. This is how WBCs reach an infected area within the body and defend the body against foreign attack.

Detailed explanation-2: -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 out of the circulatory system and towards the site of tissue damage or infection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diapedesis is the movement of white blood cells through intact blood vessel walls into surrounding body tissue. It typically happens when an area of the body is injured or damaged, and an inflammation response is required.

Detailed explanation-4: -TEM, or diapedesis, is the process whereby the leukocyte squeezes in ameboid fashion across the endothelial cells. This almost always happens at endothelial cell borders101, 117 (a small fraction of transmigration occurs through the endothelial cell body; this will be discussed later).
