Question

As fluid moves toward the injury site, which cells of the immune system follow to remove pathogens and cellular debris through phagocytosis__________.

Answer 1

macrophages

Step-by-step explanation:

Macrophages are the specialized cells that perform phagocytosis which refers to the intake of microbes, pathogens, toxins, etc. to remove them from the body. During any injury, capillaries become more permeable under the influence of histamine and other substances. This allows the tissue fluid to move towards the site of infection. Monocytes are the phagocytes that arrive at the site of injury or infections along with neutrophils. Monocytes are transformed into actively phagocytic macrophages. Macrophages ingest the debris and pathogens and kill them by the hydrolytic enzymes present inside them.
