When langerhans cells phagocytize where do they carry them?
Phagotized pathogen by langerhans cells are carried to the lymphocytes. The lymphocytes are a type of WBC that are located in the lymph nodes.
What type of cells phagocytize foreign or injured cell and play a major role in providing protection against infections?
The type of cells that phagocytize foreign or injured cells and provide protection against infections are called phagocytes. This includes various types of cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. They engulf and destroy pathogens and other harmful substances to help eliminate infections.
What are epidermal dendritic cells?
Langerhans cells
What is the flowing substance that comes out of the islets of langerhans?
Alpha cells in the islet of Langerhans produce glucagon and beta cells produce insulin. Islets of Langerhans are also known as pancreatic islets.
Which cells phagocytize an antigen?
They are "phagocytes." Phagocytes include cells called neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and mast cells. NEUTROPHILS - first line of defense mechanisms. MACROPHAGES - second line of defense mechanisms. Phagocytosis is a process by which macrophages (a type of white blood cells) engulf pathogens and cell debris.
Do red blood cells attack viruses that cause an illness?
No. red blood cells carry oxygen. White blood cells attack pathogens such as viruses.
Cells of the skin that are active in the immune process are called?
Langerhans Cells
What type of cells phagocytize foreign or injured cells and play a major role in providing protection against infections?
macrophages
Which of these does not belong Langerhans cells epidermal dendritic cells keratinocytes immune cells?
Keratinocytes
Who discovered the islets of langerhans?
The person who discovered the pancreas cells is Paul Langerhans, a German biologist and pathologist. These cells called "Islets of Langerhans" are cells in the kidney that produce insulin, the blood suger level reducing hormone (i.e. if these don't work, you have diabetes). Occasionally, "Isles\Islets of Langerhans" are used as a form of comedy or nonsense place names.
Function of microglial cells?
Macrophages of the central nervous system (in the peripheral nervous system, it's Schwann cells).They act as the first and main ACTIVE immune defense in the CNSMicroglia phagocytize pathogens within the CNS.
Which cells release glucagon in response to low blood sugar?
alpha cells which are part of islets of langerhans in the pancreas secrete glucagon.islet of langerhans are the tissues of the pancreas.
