Neutrophils and Monocytes

Question

Neutrophils and monocytes
A) are megakaryocytes.
B) initiate the hemostatic mechanism.
C) engage in phagocytosis.
D) All of the above are true.

Accepted Answer

Neutrophils and monocytes are types of white blood cells that are phagocytic, meaning they engulf and digest foreign particles or microorganisms in the body. They do not initiate hemostasis (blood clotting) and are not megakaryocytes, which are large bone marrow cells that produce platelets.
