Leukocyte Extravasation | Diapedesis

Leukocyte extravasation (also commonly known as leukocyte adhesion cascade or diapedesis - the passage of cells through the intact vessel wall) is the movement of leukocytes out of the circulatory system and towards the site of tissue damage or infection. This process forms part of the innate immune response, involving the recruitment of non-specific leukocytes. Monocytes also use this process in the absence of infection or tissue damage during their development into macrophages.
Leukocyte extravasation occurs mainly in post-capillary venules, where haemodynamic shear forces are minimised. This process can be understood in several steps:
Chemoattraction
Rolling adhesion
Tight adhesion
(Endothelial) Transmigration
It has been demonstrated that leukocyte recruitment is halted whenever any of these steps is suppressed.
White blood cells (leukocytes) perform most of their functions in tissues. Functions include phagocytosis of foreign particles, production of antibodies, secretion of inflammatory response triggers (histamine and heparin), and neutralization of histamine. In general, leukocytes are involved in the defense of an organism and protect it from disease by promoting or inhibiting inflammatory responses. Leukocytes use the blood as a transport medium to reach the tissues of the body. Here is a brief summary of each of the four steps currently thought to be involved in leukocyte extravasation:

[@harshateluguinfo3687]

Can you please tell the cells which exhibit reverse diapedesis???

[@cherylsingh8702]

Diapedesis is shown by only neutrophils and monocytes as they are phagocytic cells ? Or diapedesis is shown by all kind of WBC'S ?
