Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Opsonins coat the surface of bacteria and increase their susceptibility to being phagocytized. Opsonins are not associated with fatty acids, the regulation of the inflammatory process, or the degranulation of mast cells.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Neutrophils are the predominant phagocytes in the early inflammatory site, arriving within 612 hours after the initial injury. Eosinophils help limit and control inflammation. Leukotrienes are activators of the inflammatory response. Monocytes enter much later and replace leukocytes.
