Question

Vertebrate immune cells, which are phagocytic, include ________. i) neutrophils ii) macrophages iii) dendritic cells iv) natural killer cells

Answer 1

Macrophages

Using the receptors on their surface and through the facilitation by immunoglobulins that attach to the foreign matter, macrophages 'hold' the foreign bodies in the body and 'ingest' them through phagocytosis. Lysozymes in the cells then in 'digest' the foreign matter.
