Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following lists the steps of phagocytosis in the correct order?
A
chemotaxis, adherence, ingestion, digestion, killing
B
adherence, chemotaxis, ingestion, digestion, killing
C
adherence, ingestion, digestion, chemotaxis, killing
D
chemotaxis, digestion, ingestion, adherence, killing
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is B) chemotaxis, adherence, ingestion, digestion, killing.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the first step of phagocytosis, phagocytes are attracted by and move toward a variety of substances generated in the immune response; this process is called chemotaxis. Resting phagocytes are activated by inflammatory mediators (bacterial products, cytokines, prostaglandins, and complement proteins).

Detailed explanation-3: -Attachment of phagocytes to the microbes or cells can be through unenhanced attachment or enhanced attachment. Unenhanced attachment is the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns or PAMPs by endocytic pattern-recognition receptors on the surface of the phagocytes.
