Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phagocytic cells are guided to the site of injury by chemoattractant substances.This event is termed chemotaxis.A chemotactic response is defined as a change in the direction of movement of a motile cell in response to a concentration gradient of a specific chemical,chemotaxin.Chemotaxins can induce a positive movement toward and negative movement away from a chemotactic response.Antigens function as chemoattractants,and when antigenic material is present in the body,phagocytes are attracted to its source by moving up its concentration gradient.
