how long is the lifespan of a neutrophil
2-14 days
The lifespan of a neutrophil is relatively short, typically around 1-2 days. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the individual’s health status and any ongoing infections. When a neutrophil is activated in response to an infection or injury, its lifespan may be shortened to just a few hours as it works to eliminate the threat. Once a neutrophil has carried out its function, it will undergo apoptosis (programmed cell death) and be removed from the body by macrophages.
