By Which Process Do Neutrophils Engulf Foreign Particles

Question

By which process do neutrophils engulf foreign particles
A)opsonization
B)diapedesis
C)chemotaxis
D)phagocytosis

Accepted Answer

Neutrophils engulf foreign particles through the process of phagocytosis, in which they surround and engulf the particle, forming a phagosome which then fuses with a lysosome to form a phagolysosome where the particle is degraded. Opsonization, diapedesis, and chemotaxis are all processes that are involved in the recruitment and activation of neutrophils but are not directly involved in the engulfment of particles.
