Which of the following statements describes the function of a macrophage? A B C D They circulate in the blood and produce antigens in response to infection. They are found in tissues and secrete cytokines in response to infection. They can leave the blood and secrete cytotoxins when exposed to damaged cells. They can leave the blood and accumulate at sites of inflammation.

Which of the following statements is false regarding phagocytosis? It can ingest large particles. It is mediated by clathrin at the plasma membrane. All of the answers are true. It is used by macrophages and neutrophils to ingest bacteria. It is used by amoebae to ingest food.
Among the pointed parts, which structure will the proliferation of lymphocytes occur while substances are removed by phagocytosis? Structure labelled A Structure labelled D Structure labelled E Structure labelled C
Which of the following is NOT a true statement about inflammation? Substances released by invading bacteria themselves are the molecules that initiate inflammation The last stage in inflammation is tissue repair Substances released from damaged body cells attract phagocytic leukocytes to the area Inflammation can be triggered by physical injury or infection Phagocytic leukocytes migrate through the walls of blood vessels into surrounding tissues
What is the role of macrophages? Phagocytosis of foreign molecules Secrete histamine to mediate an inflammatory reaction Produce interferon to activate macrophages All of the above
Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about Macrophages? Macrophages have a single, somewhat large nucleus and granular inclusions Macrophages serve as antigen presenting cells or APCs Macrophages can express both MHC I and MHC II when acting as an APC Macrophages have less surface area than dendritic cells have, to bind antigens Macrophages arise from the same cell as dendritic cells Resident macrophages are found in only certain, specific tissues
Which of the following statements is NOT true? O O None of the other four answers (All statements are true) When connective tissue (e.g., in the dermis) is damaged, repair leads to scar tissue formation During inflammation, all of the phagocytic leukocytes remain inside capillaries to prevent pathogens from entering the bloodstream The typical signs and symptoms of inflammation are redness, pain, heat, and swelling An abscess is an infection and collection of pus in a walled-off area
Each of the following statements concerning the macrophages is true, EXCEPT:* D Sometimes referred to Langerhans cells in the skin Contain numerous primary and secondary lysosomes Have variable shape, because they move in connective tissues O D Manufacture antibodies. O O Phagocytosis of bacteria
The process of macrophages bringing microbes inside the cell to destroy them is called: diapedesis chemotaxis leukocytosis phagocytosis
Which of the following is NOT true about infectious mononucleosis ("mono")? None of the other four answers (All are true of infectious mononucleosis) Caused by Epstein-Barr Virus, a type of herpesvirus In the blood, monocytes are the site of long-term viral replication and persistence Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes attack virus-infected B-lymphocytes O Often transmitted from person to person through saliva
Which of the following is the most likely target of retinoblastoma protein (RB)? a kinase involved in secretion a protein responsible for ATP production DNA polymerase Phosphodiesterase, which breaks phosphodiester bonds
Most normal tissues contain resident macrophages, and connective tissue sites in the gastrointestinal tract and the lung contain large numbers of these cells. Yet the blood also contains a high number of circulating ‘classical’ monocytes that can differentiate into macrophages after entering tissues. These circulating monocytes function to: Phagocytose and kill pathogens in the blood Line the endothelial surfaces of the blood vessels with phagocytic cells Enter lymph nodes and patrol for infecting microbes in these organs Amplify the local innate immune response by entering tissues that are infected Differentiate into dendritic cells during an inflammatory response
Macrophage, when they encounter an antigen or pathogen release: Histamines. Prostaglandins. Tissue factor None of the above
