_________ give rise to macrophages, which destroy larger particles by phagocytosis.
Correct answer: C. Monocyte
- A. Nautrophils
- B. Basophila
- C. Monocyte
- D. Lymphocyte
Explanation
Monocytes leave the bloodstream and differentiate into macrophages in tissues, where they engulf and digest large particles and pathogens by phagocytosis. Neutrophils also perform phagocytosis, but they do not normally give rise to macrophages. Students may choose neutrophils because they are abundant phagocytic white blood cells, but macrophages develop specifically from monocytes.
