Inflammation (3) 重庆医科大学附属第一医院神经内科 王恬竹 Injury to the endothelial walls of the microcirculation renders the surface of the capillary cell sticky, which enables white blood cells that normally flow past to attach themselves to the wall. endothelial [,end?uθi:li?l] adj. of or relating to or located in the endothelium endo- [‘end?u] 表示：内，内在。endocrine render [‘rend?] v. cause to become，后面常跟adj. e.g. The shot rendered her immobile. In an inflamed area, whole segments of capillaries may soon be covered by white blood cells much as barnacles attach themselves to old pilings. This phenomenon is called pavementing and is regarded as an early stage in the sequence of the cellular phase of inflammation. barnacle [bɑ:n?kl] n. (船底、岩石等的)附着甲壳动物 piling n. a column of wood or steel or concrete that is driven into the ground to provide support for a structure pavementing: the sticking of white blood cells to the linings of the finest blood vessels (capillaries) when inflammation occurs. * These white blood cells also respond to the presence in neighboring tissues of foreign bacteria or antibody-antigen complexes. anti- [‘?nti] pref. 相反，抗 The direct migration of the inflammatory cells towards an injured area is called chemotaxis. This phenomenon has great value as a second line of defense in infections. migration [mai‘ɡrei??n] n. immigrate, emigrate the movement of persons from one country or locality to another，移民； a group of people migrating together (especially in some given time period)，迁徙； to change position in an organism or substance，迁移 chemotaxis [,kem?‘t?ksis] n. movement by a cell or organism in reaction to a chemical stimulus，趋化性 The polymorphonuclear leukocytes are active, motile cells that contain large amounts of enzymes that are capable of degrading biologic materials, as well as of isolating them, and of removing the noxious effects of these materials from the host. motile [m?utail, -til] adj. capable of movement degrade: to reduce the complexity of (a chemical
