Question

Activity of phagocytosis occurs through?

• A. Neutrophils and monocytes
• B. Basophils and monocytes
• C. Eosinophils and monocytes
• D. Lymphocytes and neutrophils

Answer 1

The correct option is A Neutrophils and monocytes

• The phagocytes include many types of white blood cells (such as neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, mast cells, and dendritic cells).
• This binding will lead to the engulfing of the bacteria by the phagocyte.
• Neutrophils can secrete products that stimulate monocytes and macrophages.
• Neutrophil secretions increase phagocytosis and the formation of reactive oxygen compounds involved in the intracellular killing. Secretions from the primary granules of neutrophils stimulate the phagocytosis of IgG-antibody-coated bacteria.
• Hence, Activity of phagocytosis occurs through Neutrophils and monocytes.
• So, the correct answer is 'Neutrophils and monocytes'.
