Question
Chapter 15, Problem 7MTF
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are certain specialized cells that take part in the destruction of foreign bodies by engulfing them and removing from the host body. These cells are termed as phagocytes. These cells are involved in immunity of host body.

Cytokines are released by phagocytes to initiate inflammation and ____________.
attract more of other phagocytes
interfere with chemotaxis
engulf microbes
attach to the cell surface for phagocytosis
more than one of these additional functions
none of these- it is only for inflammation
Statement 1: Phagocytosis is one of the mechanisms performed by multicellular organisms as a
defense against invading microorganisms and also to remove old and/or damaged cells from the
body.
Statement 2: Some types of white blood cells in humans are professional phagocytes.
A
Both statements are true.
Statement 1 is true. Statement 2 is false.
Both statements are false.
D Statement 1 is false. Statement 1 is true.
A phagocyte enters tissues by:
chemotaxis
leukocytosis
diapedesis
margination
