The clip actually strings together several videos showing bright green neutrophils rushing toward damaged cells in liver tissue (seen as bright red areas). The narrator explains in simple terms what is going on and what it means in understanding what happens when tissue damage occurs.
This is a great FREE video to show your class when discussing any or all of these topics:
- WBCs in general
- Neutrophils
- Immune response
- Inflammation
- Chemotaxis
