active phagocytes

Front 35

Respiratory burst

Back 35

cells metabolize oxygen to produce potent germ killer

Front 36

Front 45

Vascular Spasm

Back 45

Smooth muscle contracts causing vasoconstriction

Front 46

Platelet Plug Formation

Back 46

Injury to lining of vessel exposes collagen fibers; platelets adhere

Front 47

Coagulation
