Describe how does a neutrophil help monocytes be more effective?

Explanation: Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) and monocyte/macrophages (MMs) are professional phagocytic cells that are able to phagocytose and destroy infectious agents. Therefore, they are key anti-infectious actors in host defense but can mediate tissue damages. 

Neutrophils provide the first line of defense of the innate immune system by phagocytosing, killing, and digesting bacteria and fungi. 

The interactions between neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages enable the host to efficiently defend against and eliminate foreign pathogens. However, it is also becoming increasingly clear that these interactions can be detrimental to the host if not tightly regulated. In this review, we will explore the functional cooperation of neutrophil and monocytes/macrophages in homeostasis, during acute inflammation and in various disease settings.
