To determine: The type of cell which is responsible for engulfing the foreign substance.
Introduction: The defense mechanism of the body against infectious pathogens and foreign invaders is referred to as the immune system. The immune system is made up of a network of organs, tissues, and cells to protect the body against foreign materials.

Explanation of Solution
Specialized cells are engaged in the immune system to isolate, attack, and remove the invaders. In this way, the type of immune cell that is responsible for engulfing foreign material is the macrophage. It is a type of phagocyte involved in detecting, engulfing, and destruction of foreign invaders. The macrophages are produced from the differentiation of monocytes (a type of white blood cell).

- Noggin mutation: The mouse, one of the phenotypic consequences of Noggin mutationis mispatterning of the spinal cord, in the posterior region of the mouse embryo, suchthat in the hindlimb region the more ventral fates are lost, and the dorsal Pax3 domain isexpanded. (this experiment is not in the lectures).a. Hypothesis for why: What would be your hypothesis for why the ventral fatesare lost and dorsal fates expanded?
