A Grade
neutrophil
- correct answer -granulocyte
-predominant phagocytes in the early inflammatory site
-mature cell, incapable of division, short lived
-becomes a component of purulent exudate (pus)
-primary roles are removal of debris in sterile lesions such as burns, and phagocytosis of bacteria in
nonsterile lesions
eosinophil
- correct answer -granulocyte
-2 specific functions:
1. serve as the body's primary defense against parasites
2. help regulate vascular mediators released from mast cells
-eosinophil lysosomal granules contain enzymes that degrade vasoactive molecules, controlling the
vascular effects of inflammation
basophil
- correct answer -similar to mast cells in the content of its granules
-primary role is unknown, often associated with allergies and asthma
Dendritic cells
- correct answer provide one of the major links between the innate and acquired immune responses
-primary phagocytic cells located in the peripheral organs and skin
