Which immune cells are known to be inherently phagocytic?

  1. Macrophages

  2. Neutrophils

  3. Platelets

  4. T cells

The correct answer is: Neutrophils

Neutrophils are known to be inherently phagocytic immune cells. Phagocytosis is the process by which cells engulf and digest particles or other cells. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells and are among the first responders to sites of infection or tissue damage. They are equipped with receptors on their surface that allow them to recognize and engulf pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi. This phagocytic activity is essential for their role in the immune response against pathogens.
