Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is the predominant cell types in early inflammation?
A
platelet
B
neutrophils
C
macrophages
D
plasma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neutrophils dominate the early stages of inflammation and set the stage for repair of tissue damage by macrophages. These actions are orchestrated by numerous cytokines and the expression of their receptors, which represent a potential means for inhibiting selective aspects of inflammation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neutrophils, also known as polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes, are the most abundant cell type in human blood. They are produced in the bone marrow in large numbers,  1011 cell per day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neutrophils are normally the first responders to acute inflammation and contribute to the resolution of inflammation. However, in chronic inflammation, the role of neutrophils is less well understood and has been described as either beneficial or detrimental, causing tissue damage and enhancing the immune response.

Detailed explanation-4: -The predominant cell of acute inflammation is the neutrophil. They are attracted to the site of injury by the presence of chemotaxins, the mediators released into the blood immediately after the insult.

Detailed explanation-5: -The main phagocytes involved in acute inflammation are the neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that contains granules of cell-destroying enzymes and proteins.
