Question

Match each functions with the various cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, mast cells, blood clots, neutrophils

engulf microbes and migrate to the lymph nodes for presenting antigens to lymphocytes

seal tissues damage that could otherwise lead to prolonged exposure with the external environment

secrete histamines which diffuse though the infected tissue to open blood capillaries

move from blood into the infected tissues to phagocytize the pathogens

ingest dead cellular debris and pus to “cleanup the mess” at the end of an inflammatory response

Answer 1

- Macrophages: Engulf microbes and migrate to the lymph nodes for presenting antigens to lymphocytes
- Blood clots: Seal tissues damage that could otherwise lead to prolonged exposure with the external environment
- Mast cells: Secrete histamines which diffuse though the infected tissue to open blood capillaries
- Neutrophils: Move from blood into the infected tissues to phagocytize the pathogens
- Macrophages: Ingest dead cellular debris and pus to “cleanup the mess” at the end of an inflammatory response
