1. Which of these cells is capable of phagocytosis? Red blood cells NK cells Mast cells Dendritic cells
2. Which of these chemicals aids in inducing apoptosis in a virally-infected cell? Histamine Eicosanoids Heparin Granzyme
3. Which of these cell types is capable of producing cytotoxic chemicals against a multicellular parasite? Dendritic cells Mast cells Eosinophils
Mast cells, NK cells and dendritic cells are phagocytic
cells
These cells protect body by killing foreign microbes which enter
our body.
Options B,C and D are correct
Eicosanoids aids in inducing apoptosis in a virally infected
cell.
The two classes of eicosanoids, prostaglandins, and lleukotrienes
help in this process
Option B is the answer
Eosinophils are special cells which recognize and kill
extracellular parasites by inducing cytotoxic responses.
Option C is the answer
