How long do macrophages stay in the blood stream before patrolling in the body's tissues?
- A.
1 day
- B.
12 hours
- C.
1 week
- D.
3 days
Correct Answer
D. 3 daysExplanation
Macrophages are immune cells that play a crucial role in the body's defense system. They are initially produced in the bone marrow and released into the bloodstream as monocytes. From the bloodstream, they migrate to various tissues where they differentiate into mature macrophages. Once in the tissues, macrophages perform their functions, such as engulfing and destroying pathogens. The given answer, 3 days, suggests that macrophages spend approximately three days in the bloodstream before patrolling the body's tissues. This time allows for the transportation of monocytes to different areas, where they can mature into macrophages and carry out their immune functions.Rate this question:

Which immune system is our body's first line of defense against infection?
- A.
Innate or nonspecific
- B.
Adaptive or specific
Correct Answer
A. Innate or nonspecificExplanation
The innate or nonspecific immune system is our body's first line of defense against infection. It is called nonspecific because it provides a general defense mechanism against a wide range of pathogens, without targeting specific antigens. This immune system includes physical barriers like the skin and mucous membranes, as well as cellular components like phagocytes and natural killer cells. These components work together to quickly recognize and eliminate foreign invaders, providing immediate protection against infections. The adaptive or specific immune system, on the other hand, is a more targeted response that develops over time and specifically targets antigens that have been encountered before.Rate this question:
