Dendritic cells are a type of immune cell found in the immune system of mammals. Their main role is processing antigen materials and delivery of these materials to surfaces of other cells.

Which of these does not belong Langerhans cells epidermal dendritic cells keratinocytes immune cells?
Keratinocytes
Phagocytic cells that occupy the epidermis are called?
The epidermis contains phagocytic cells called DENDRITIC CELLS. The slender, fingerlike processes of dendritic cells extend among the surrounding cells, forming an almost continuous network to intercept invaders.
What are the different white blood cells?
There are several:Neutrophils: phagocytosis and proteolysisbasophils: Inflammation and allergic reactionsEosinophils: Viral infectionMonocytes: PhagocytosisLymphocytes: Including B cells and T cells, function in humoral immunity
Is the amur river trellis drainage or dendritic drainage?
It is Dendritic
How can white blood cells destroy microorganisms?
Neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells can all phagocytose foreign microorgnamisms.
What are epidermal dendritic cells?
Langerhans cells
What is the function of the Lymphatic?
The lymphatic system transports fatty acid, white blood cells, and dendritic cells. It also removes interstitial fluid from the tissues in the human body.
Which of these does not belong Langerhans cells epidermal dendritic cells keratinocytes immune cells?
Keratinocytes
Which cell is known as antigen presenting cell?
Dendritic cells,macrophages, B cells
What cells engulf antigens and present fragments of them on their own surfaces where they can be recognized by cells that will deal with them?
dendritic cells
Lymphatic system function?
The lymphatic system has 4 main functions. It transports dendritic cells, white blood cells, and fatty acids. It also removes interstitial fluid from tissues.
What are white blood cells found in the epidermis that phagocitize mircrobes?
I believe they are the myeloid dendritic cells called Langerhans cells.
What type of lymphocyte is concentrated in the germinal centers?
3 types: Dendritic cells, B cells and CD4+ T cells.
Where in the lymph node do the T cells first encounter antigens presented by dendritic cells?
deep in the cortex.
Are Macrophages and Dendritic cell the same?
Both macrophages and dendritic cells are formed from the same precursor cell, the monocytes. However, the two cells serve different functions during an infection. Macrophages remain in the area of the infection and phagocytosis (engulf) foreign invaders and dead cells. Dendritic cells leave the infected tissue and travel to local lymph tissue in order to alert the adaptive immune system.
What are the skin macrophages that help activate the immune system?
Epidermal dendritic cells
What is the function of Langerhans's cells?
Langerhans cells are a subset of dendritic cells that reside in the epidermis (Part of the immune system). They have long dendrites (like arms) that capture antigen in the skin, and when they find an antigen, they migrate to lymph nodes and present to T cells allowing the adaptive immune system to respond.
