Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Specialized cells that engulf bacteria or cell debris within loose connective tissue are B. Macrophages. Macrophages clean up cellular debris and are also part of the immune system response as they engulf bacterial cells if present.
Detailed explanation-2: -In some instances, macrophages are fixed in one place within tissues, such as in the lymph nodes and the intestinal tract. In other cases, they may wander in the loose connective-tissue spaces.
Detailed explanation-3: -Macrophage Macrophages are phagocytic cells that are common in connective tissue. Macrophages are round to oval in shape (10-30 µm in diameter), and an eccentrically located, oval or indented nucleus. The cytoplasm appears to be “foamy” (because of numerous secondary lysosomes).
