Question

Complement, through the use of anaphylatoxins, induces chemotaxis and ____________________.

(A) Phagocytosis
(B) Apoptosis
(C) Inflammation
(D) Antibody production

Answer 1

The anaphylatoxins induce chemotaxis and inflammation. Macrophages are immune cells that can both phagocytize pathogens and produce chemicals that promote inflammation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The anaphylatoxins induce chemotaxis and inflammation. Chemotaxis is the movement of immune cells towards a site of infection or injury. Inflammation is a response of the immune system to protect the body from pathogens or injury. The anaphylatoxins attract immune cells to the site of infection or injury through chemotaxis, and also promote inflammation.

One of the key immune cells involved in both phagocytosis and inflammation is the macrophage. Macrophages are capable of engulfing pathogens through phagocytosis and producing chemicals that promote inflammation.
