← Human Body & HealthWhich outcome reduces inflammation when apoptotic cells accumulate?
A)Impaired efferocytosis leading to secondary necrosis✓
B)Uncontrolled degranulation amplifies local damage
C)Excess lymphocyte production intensifies response
D)Increased macrophage recruitment reduces healing
💡 Explanation
Secondary necrosis increases when clearance is insufficient; therefore impaired efferocytosis from failed *phagocytosis* increases inflammatory signals because dead cells rupture rather than undergo ordered removal, resulting in more inflammation relative to proper phagocytic clearance.
