During the process of inflammation, what would occur if there is inadequate production of adhesion molecules?
A) chemotaxin production will increase significantly

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adhesion molecules are responsible for recruiting phagocytes to sites of infection or injury. Inadequate production of adhesion molecules would result in a decrease in the recruitment of phagocytes, leading to reduced clearance of pathogens and delayed resolution of inflammation. Phagocytes may continue to circulate in the blood without being recruited to the site of inflammation.
