What is the mononuclear phagocyte system why cant a neutrophil belong to this system?

Answer 1

there are two types of cells that is involved in phagocytosis. The netrophils and the monocytes/macrophages.

Netrophils are characterised by the multi-lobular nuclear and the monoctye/macrophage by the single nuclear.

Though there perform the same role, neutrophils does not belong to the mononuclear phagocytic system simply because its nuclear is multilobulated.

Answer 2

The mononuclear phagocyte system is a network of immune cells, primarily monocytes and macrophages, that are involved in engulfing and eliminating pathogens, debris, and foreign substances. Neutrophils, on the other hand, are not considered part of this system because they have a different developmental origin and function. Neutrophils are granulocytes, not mononuclear cells, and they are more specialized in quickly responding to acute bacterial infections.
