B) White blood cells Which of the following white blood cells are granulocytes? A) Lymphocytes B) Monocytes C) Neutrophils D) Macrophages
C) Neutrophils Which white blood cells are characterized as granulocytes? A) Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils B) Lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages C) Erythrocytes, platelets, stem cells D) Mast cells, dendritic cells, T cells
A) Neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils Which immune system cells ingest foreign debris and pathogens? A) Eosinophils B) Basophils C) Neutrophils D) Mast cells
C) Neutrophils Which type of white blood cell contains enzymes called granules? A) Lymphocytes B) Granulocytes C) Monocytes D) Erythrocytes
B) Granulocytes Which cells help destroy pathogens and damaged tissue in the brain? A) Neutrophils B) Microglia C) Eosinophils D) Basophils
B) Microglia What is the primary role of eosinophils in the immune system?
Eosinophils primarily target parasitic worms and are involved in allergic reactions. How do basophils contribute to the immune response?
Basophils release histamine to promote inflammation and recruit other immune cells. What is the function of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)?
NETs act as webs of chromatin to trap infecting microbes, aiding in their destruction.
