| Beyond this phagocytic action, they do not appear to play any direct part in the reparative process. |
| Products of complement activation cause smooth muscle contraction and increased vascular permeability and induce degranulation of phagocytic cells, mast cells, and basophils. |
| The pocket usually contains a collection of pus, dead phagocytic white blood cells, necrotic cells, and live or dead bacteria. |
| There are two groups of phagocytic cells, white blood cells polymorphonuclear leukocytes and tissue cells. |
| In incipient cases the tubercles might be as readily absorbed as catgut ligature, and the germs, if any, fall to phagocytic prey. |
| These lipid-laden phagocytic cells tend to deposit within the skin and tendons, leading to xanthomas. |
