Choose the statement that describes the first stage of phagocytosis Phagocytes form pseudopodia at the site of inflammation in order to grab the invading microbe Phagocytes move with deliberation along a gradient of stimulatory products at the site of injury Phagocytes make their way to an inflammatory site by random chance Phagocytes release substances to attack the extracellular microbe Solution Answer b: Phagocytes move with delibration along a gradient of stimulatory products at the site of injury Reason: Chemotaxis is the movement of phagocytes toward an increasing concentration of some attractant such as bacterial factors (bacterial proteins, capsules, LPS, peptidoglycan, teichoic acids, etc.), complement proteins (C5a), chemokines (chemotactic cytokines such as interleukin- 8 secreted by various cells), fibrin split products, kinins, and phospholipids released by injured host cells..
