Abstract
This contribution reviews the cellular kinetics of the migratory blood cells, i.e. those cells in the blood of human beings that are in transit from one part of the organism to another, usually from the site of production to the site of emigration or removal (as in the case of granulocytes), but also from the site of transitory residence to another site of transitory residence (as in the case of “recirculating” lymphocytes). In the first part of this review, the principal functional structure of cell renewal systems is outlined in order to show that each migratory blood cell originates from a particular cell system that is under continuous renewal and guarantees a dynamic equilibrium between cell production and cell removal under the conditions of the normal steady state. In the second part of this presentation, data will be summarized to indicate, that each type of migratory blood cell has its own particular characteristics considering origin, migratory properties and destination.
