Along with the exuded serum this fills up the breach in the tissues and the whole is rapidly formed into a fibrinous mass due to the disintegration of the polymorphonuclear leucocytes setting free their ferment.
2
Complement factor is released encouraging polymorphonuclear leukocyte release from bone marrow promoting phagocytosis, which produces heat.
3
For example, viral infection is usually associated with an increase in lymphocytes, while bacterial and fungal infections are associated with an increase in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils).
4
Neutrophils are a type of granulocyte, also known as a polymorphonuclear leukocyte.
5
Numerous polymorphonuclear leucocytes and a few mononuclear cells, one of which has taken up a leucocyte into its interior (phagocytosis).
