Inflammation is thus defined by phagocytosis : the vessels and nerves have their importance, but are "merely accessory. Infection, inflammation, and immunity can all be seen in miniature in the examples of the Bipinnaria with its splinter surrounded by motile cells, and of the Daphnia with its globules in the act of devouring the spores of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Burnet, Etienne, 1873-1960; Broquet, Charles; Scott, William Macdonald.
