which of the following react by causing inflammation?
neutrophils
eosinophils
basophils
lymphocytes

Explanation:

Question 14

Erythrocytes (red blood cells) primarily transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. However, recent research shows they can interact with immune cells and participate in immune responses (e.g., by presenting antigens or modulating inflammation). So the statement "Erythrocytes do not have any function in the immune system" is false.

• Neutrophils: Phagocytose pathogens, not main inflammation - causers.
• Eosinophils: Involved in allergic reactions and parasite defense, less in general inflammation.
• Basophils: Release histamine and other inflammatory mediators, triggering inflammation (e.g., in allergic responses or immune reactions).
• Lymphocytes: Involved in adaptive immunity (e.g., B and T cells), not direct inflammation - causing.

Answer:

False
