when tissues are injured or infected, chemical signals can be released that affect the plasma membrane of cells that line the nearby blood vessels. these blood vessels' cells (endothelial cells) respond to the chemical signals by displaying a type of glycoproteins on their surface. these proteins will attach to circulating white blood cells bringing them to the site of injury or infection. these glycoproteins would best be described as . when tissues are injured or infected, chemical signals can be released that affect the plasma membrane of cells that line the nearby blood vessels. these blood vessels' cells (endothelial cells) respond to the chemical signals by displaying a type of glycoproteins on their surface. these proteins will attach to circulating white blood cells bringing them to the site of injury or infection. these glycoproteins would best be described as . desmosomes transport proteins g-proteins cell adhesion molecules (cams)
