Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Macrophages are found in the interstitial fluid and are responsible for consuming any bacteria and virus-infected cells they encounter. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body and are not involved in immune defense. Leukocytes refer to all types of white blood cells, including macrophages, but the question is specifically asking for the type found in interstitial fluid. Interferons are signaling proteins that help to alert neighboring cells of a viral infection but they are not found in the interstitial fluid nor do they directly consume infected cells.
