Name the type of immune response that the granulocytes and monocytes predominately participate in and explain their role in this response
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Innate Immune Response (IRR)
This is the body's first response to pathogens. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP) are recognized by a leukocyte's surface receptors for PAMP (pattern recognition receptors [PRR]). Once a pathogen has been recognized, neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages can phagocytose and kill the organism. The innate IR is rapid but limited.
