Neutrophils change into macrophages that act as scavengers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutrophils and macrophages are two different types of immune cells in the body. Neutrophils are the first responders to infections and can engulf and destroy pathogens directly, while macrophages are specialized cells that act as scavengers and phagocytose (engulf and break down) dead cells, debris, and pathogens. Neutrophils do not change into macrophages; they have distinct roles in the immune response.
