How do white blood cells move when outside of the blood stream

White blood cells use "legs" to grab ahold of the blood vessel walls to inch their way forward.

Scientists have shown that rather than inching along blood vessel walls to reach injured tissue, white blood cells sprout hundreds of "legs" that grip the vessel walls and propel them, millipede-like, to the proper site.
