Which are the two most important phagocytic cells?
- Neutrophils - Monocytes
What do macrophages arise from?
Monocytes. When monocytes enter the tissue they are called Macrophages.
Which white blood cell have multilobed nuclei?
Neutrophils.
Explain the function of neutrophils and monocytes?
Monocytes ARE a a type of leukocyte , part of the human body's immune system, monocytes have 2 funtions: 1. to replenish macrophages and dendrites to normal state 2. monocytes can quickly (takes 8-12 hours and yes its not quickly....) go to the site of the infection and divide the tissue AND differentiate macrophages and dendritic cells to elicit an immune response...
What cells originate from monocytes?
Spleen

What do macrophages arise from?
Monocytes. When monocytes enter the tissue they are called Macrophages.
Where is monocyte located?
Monocytes are a type of white blood cell and are part of the innate immune system of vertebrates including all mammals (including humans), birds, reptiles, and fish. Monocytes play multiple roles in immune function.
What elevates monocytes?
monocytes are elevated in infections like tuberculosis
What do monocytes become?
Monocytes mature into different types of macrophages.
What is an example of agranulocytes?
there are two types of agranulocytes in the blood namely the monocytes and the lymphocytes.
Of the granulocytes phagocytosis is characteristic of the neutrophil and the?
Neutrophils are the only granulocytes that phagocytize bacteria. (Granuloctyes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.) Eosinophils do NOT phagocytize (eat); they kill parasidic worms by releasing enzymes and chemicals that create holes in the cells' membranes. Two types of agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. Monocytes function in phagocytosis. Also, monocytes turn into macrophages in tissues.
Which white blood cell have multilobed nuclei?
Neutrophils.
What is Monocytes Absolute and what are the risk of them being high?
Monocytes Absolute refers to the number of monocytes in a blood sample. Monocytes are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. High levels of monocytes may indicate an ongoing infection, autoimmune disorder, or certain types of cancer. Further testing is usually needed to determine the underlying cause of elevated monocytes.
Are lymphocytes and monocytes granulocytes?
No they are not. Granculocytes have granules e.g. neutrophil. Lymphocytes and monocytes do not.
Are monocytes active in chronic inflammation?
Monocytes may be elevated in chronic inflammation.
What does it mean when monocytes are slightly high?
monocytes are high in bacterial & parasitic inf.
