Compounds released by WBCs, which raise the body's temperature, are known as

  1. Insulin

  2. Catecholamines

  3. Pyrogens

  4. Prostaglandins

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
When your body temperature rises  because of an infection, it's called a fever.  Fevers are caused by chemicals called pyrogens flowing in the bloodstream. Pyrogens make their way to the hypothalamus in the brain, which is in charge of regulating body temperature. So, the correct option is "C" (Pyrogens).

Immunocomplexes are removed by

  1. Basophils and monocytes

  2. Basophils and eosinophils

  3. Eosinophils and monocytes

  4. Neutrophils and basophils

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Immunocomplexes also called antigen-antibody complexes are harmful and long deposition of then inside the cell can lead to various autoimmune disorders and primarily removed from the cell by phagocytosis in which eosinophils and monocytes (destruction of antibody)  have an important role to play.

So the correct option is 'Eosinophils and monocytes'.

In a blood sample, a WBC has a nucleus with drum-sticks. This indicates that the blood sample has come from a person who is

  1. Heamphilic

  2. Diabatic

  3. Female

  4. Sickle cell-anemic

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Neutrophils are sexually dimorphic. Neutrophils from females exhibit a small additional X chromosome structure, known as a "neutrophil drumstick".

Drumsticks are differentiated from other nuclear appendages that may occasionally be seen in both sexes.  
Drumsticks usually appear when two XX chromosomes are present. The active X chromosome is randomly distributed within nuclear lobes, but the inactive X preferentially appears in drumsticks. Typical drumsticks are rarely seen in normal men. 

So the answer is 'Female'. 

Which of the following cells are associated with immune system of body?

  1. Platelets

  2. WBC

  3. Macrophages

  4. RBC

Show answer
Correct Option: B

Select the incorrect statement out of the following. 

evs our body- its internal organ system leucocytes body fluids and immune responses respiratory and circulatory system

  1. Neutrophils constitute the majority of leucocytes

  2. Eosinophils resist infection.

  3. Basophils secrete histamine and serotonin.

  4. RBCs in mammals are enucleated and biconvex in shape.

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
(A) Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell, consisting of $60-70\%$ of the leukocytes, they defend against bacterial or fungal infection. They are referred to as PMN leukocytes.
(B) Eosinophil compose about $2-4\%$ of WBC. The count fluctuates. It rises in response to allergies, parasitic infections, collagen diseases, and disease of the spleen and CNS. That is they resist infection.
(C) Basophils are chiefly responsible for allergic and antigen response by releasing the chemical histamine & serotonin also heparin.
(D) Red Blood cells lack a nucleus, but are biconcave in shape, not Biconvex
All statements are correct, only in (D), there should be biconcave instead of Biconvex.

Mark, among the following the a cell which does not exhibit pahgocytotic activity

evs our body- its internal organ system leucocytes body fluids and immune responses respiratory and circulatory system

  1. Monocytes

  2. Neutrophil

  3. Basophil

  4. Macrophage

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Phagocytotic activity is the process of engulfing or ingestion of food or bacteria.

  • Monocytes - They are the largest type of leucocytes present in about 10-20% in blood. They are phagocytotic in nature and engulf bacteria.
  • Neutrophils - There are also many in number in leucocytes. They are phagocytotic in nature and thus engulf harmful bacteria and germs.
  • Basophils - They are present in the very least amount in the leucocytes. Their main function is the prevention of blood clotting and other allergic reactions.
  • Macrophages - They are formed from monocytes in the leucocytes. They are phagocytes that engulf and destroy all the bacteria.

So, the correct option is 'Basophil'.

The blood cells with polymorphic nucleus are?

  1. Granulocytes

  2. Thrombocytes

  3. Erythrocytes

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Granulocytes are a category of white blood cells characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They are also called polymorphonuclear leukocytes or polymorphonuclear neutrophils because of the varying shapes of the nucleus, which is usually lobed into three segments. These are granulocytes involved in fighting off pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi.

So the correct answer is 'Granulocytes'.
