Opsonization
Pavementing
Rouleaux
Chemotaxis
The following occurrences contribute to the increase in vascular permeability EXCEPT ____
endothelial cell death due to congestion
beginning of migration of leukocytes out of circulation
decreased release of toxic mediators at the injured site
increased pressure due hyperemia.

edema
opsonin
hyperemia
MAC
Contraction of the endothelial cells will lead to ______
pavementing of neutrophils
more gaps created for blood content to escape from blood vessels out into the tissue
better opsonization of pathogens for phagocytosis by phagocytes.
