Immunological cells Flashcards
What type of cell is a neutrophil?
WBC
By what process do neutrophils destroy bacteria and fungi?
Phagocytosis
What regulates the formation of neturophils?
Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF)
Why can Granulocyte- Colonoy Stimulating Factor used to treat neutropenia?
As it is repsponsible for regulating it’s formation
