Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Made by the thymus gland
Concept:

Neutrophils are the highly abundant, rapid-response phagocytes of the innate immune system.

Formula:

None

Solution:

  • Neutrophils make up \(60\text{-}70\%\) of all circulating white blood cells (most abundant).


  • They are produced and released by the red bone marrow.


  • They have a very short lifespan, surviving only a few days before dying to form pus.


  • They are NOT made by the thymus gland. The thymus is strictly dedicated to the maturation of T-lymphocytes.


Why other options are incorrect:

  • Options A, B, and D are factually correct statements regarding neutrophil physiology.
