What does Neutrophils do in the body?

Answer 1

They have a protective function. They engulf micro organisms and harmful material.They destroy dead cells.

Answer 2

A neutrophil is one type of a white blood cell (leukocyte/leucocyte) that assists the body's immune system to ward off disease. From 40 - 60% of the white blood cells in an healthy human are neutrophils.

Their purpose is to aid removal of noxious stimuli that cause cell death (necrosis) that lead to inflammation. They will engulf and digest (phagocytose) the foreign materials and die in the process, making the area less toxic, they then themselves need removed or to be apoptosed (killed and removed/absorbed under control).

Neutrophils normally reside in the blood, circulating as part of your innate (passive/non-specific) immune system. They will accumulate at sites of infection and inflammation; they are a phagocytic cell, but die in the process of phagocytosis (engulfing and digesting debris/foreign material), so under microscopy of an infected or inflamed tissue they will be present in abundance. Dead neutrophils are the main component of pus, they are responsible for its whitish colour.

they trap and kill bacteria in the blood
A neutrophil is a leukocyte that has phagocytic activities and consumes foreign microbes and particles.

Neutrophils engulf and destroy bacteria coated with complement proteins or antibodies.
Neutrophils are type of granular leukocytes and are the first to respond to bacterial invasion. They carry out the phagocytosis and release enzymes which destroy bacteria. They are also the most common type of leukocyte in the body - 60-70%.

Answer 3

Neutrophils are a part of the innate immune response and are some of the first cells to a sight of infection/injury. They will eat invading pathogens and will kill them. They only live for a few hours, and are highly inflammatory.

Answer 4

Assuming you're talking about 'Neutrophil granulocytes' - they are white blood cells (part of the body's defence system) - and are usually one of the first responders to infection or inflammation.

Answer 5

it is a type of white blood cells. it increases than the ref. range in human body in any type of inflammation and pyogenic inf.

Answer 6

They have a protective function. They engulf micro organisms and harmful material.They destroy dead cells.

Answer 7

fight bactariya and eat them
