One of the cardinal signs of inflammation is

• redness

• necrosis

• contracture

• cyanosis

During acute inflammation, white blood cells

• gather in the center of the blood vessels

• move to the periphery of the blood vessels and stick to their walls

• form blood clots to stop vascular leakage

• deliver oxygen to the site of the injury

• mast cell

• neutrophil

The evolution of a monocyte when it escapes the bloodstream that is responsible for phagocytosis in the later stages of inflammation is the
