Question
Chapter 15, Problem 41RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The time taken by neutrophils to reach half of their final number.
Introduction:
Neutrophils are usually microbial infection's first responders. When they reach the target site, they quickly respond with action. Such cells are altered to fight against diseases, and if they are deployed at the wrong time and in the wrong place, they may damage the tissues. Phagocytosis of microbe is the key task of neutrophilic granulocytes.
