Answer 1

The process whereby neutrophils and other white blood cells are attracted to an inflammatory site is called as chemotaxis. It is a process by which inflammatory cells migrated or attracted towards other cells in the blood. It's like a phenomena of negative cells attracted to positive cells. Technically speaking, it's a movement of cells in response to chemical cells. It's an important response common in cellular biology. It's also a process by which cells translate chemical information.
