Answers (1)
The assertion states that eosinophils contribute to the destruction of parasitic forms, which is true. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that plays a role in the immune response against parasitic infections.
The reason explains that eosinophils can attach themselves to parasitic forms and initiate their destruction by releasing lysosomal enzymes from their surface. This is also true. Eosinophils have specific surface receptors that allow them to bind to parasites. Upon attachment, they release toxic granules containing enzymes, such as major basic protein, eosinophil peroxidase, and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin, which can damage and kill the parasites Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true and correctly related making option 3 the correct answer.
