Question

Monocytes, in conjunction with epithelium-derived factors, can act to facilitate which biological process?

Answer 1

The correct answer is - host immune system.

Explanation:

Monocytes are one of white blood cells or normally called leukocytes. Monocytes are the largest white blood cells and distinguished to the myeloid lineage dendritic cells and large monocytes known as the macrophages.

Monocytes are the cells that influence the adaptive immunity in the particular host that is experiencing the infection of foreign particles or antigen. It is a part of all vertebrate innate immune system.

Thus, the correct answer is - host immune system.

Answer 2

D) Host immune response

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is given below:

Monocytes, in conjunction with epithelium-derived factors, can act to facilitate which biological process?

A) Fatty acid oxidation

B) Transvection

C) Lipid synthesis

D) Host immune response

• Monocytes are a type of leukocytes that can differentiate into macrophages and the dendritic cells of the myeloid lineage.
• These monocytes play an important role in mediating the host immune response which is a complex response generated in the body to combat the invading microbes and fight the disease.
• The monocytes help in the host immune response as they circulate in the blood and reside in the spleen and can recognize the foreign antigens and combat them by performing functions such as phagocytosis, releasing chemokines etc. and mainly they do so by differentiating into macrophages and dendritic cells.
