Which cells of the nonspecific body defense are phagocytic?
Standard Text: Select all that apply.
1. Mast cells
2. Macrophages
3. Dendritic cells
4. Neutrophils
5. Eosinophils
Correct Answer: 2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Mast cells are not phagocytic.
Rationale 2: Macrophages are phagocytic.
Rationale 3: Dendritic cells are phagocytic.
Rationale 4: Neutrophils are phagocytic cells.
Rationale 5: Eosinophils are phagocytic cells.
Global Rationale: Phagocytes ingest antigens. Specific types include neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes, which differentiate into macrophages. Also included dendritic cells that reside deep in the skin, in lymph nodes, and in the inner lining of the respiratory and digestive tracts. Mast cells are not phagocytic.

In order for the kidney tubules to continue to secrete hydrogen ions (H+) into the tubular filtrate, mechanisms must exist that allow the secreted hydrogen ions to be taken up (buffered) by components in the tubular filtrate
One such mechanism is: A. Secretion of ammonia (NH3) by tubular epithelial cells that combines with the hydrogen ions to form ammonium ions (NH4+) B. Secretion of bicarbonate ions (HCO3–) into the tubular filtrate by the tubular epithelial cells C. Secretion of phosphate ions into the tubular filtrate by the tubular epithelial cells D. Excretion of urea into the tubular filtrate
