Which of the following immune cells are known to be inherently phagocytic?

  1. Basophils

  2. Eosinophils

  3. Neutrophils

  4. Macrophages

The correct answer is: Macrophages

Macrophages are known to be inherently phagocytic, which means they have the ability to engulf and destroy foreign particles and microorganisms. Basophils are not generally considered phagocytic, as their main function is to release histamine during an immune response. Eosinophils are mainly involved in combating parasitic infections and are not primarily responsible for phagocytosis. Neutrophils are also capable of phagocytosis, but they are not inherently phagocytic like macrophages, as they require a specific signal or stimulus to initiate phagocytosis. Therefore, the most accurate answer is D Macrophages.
