Answer to Question 1

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, but they are not the prominent phagocyte. Lymphocytes are part of the innate immune response. Macrophages kill microorganisms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Leukotrienes are released slower and longer than histamine. Both leukotrienes and histamine are produced by mast cells, and they have similar vascular effects and chemotactic abilities.
