The thick, whitish fluid called pus is formed from b) dead white blood cells.
- Pus is a thick, opaque, typically yellowish-white fluid matter that develops as a result of an inflammatory response usually brought on by an infection and is primarily made up of exudate harboring pathogenic microbes, tissue debris, and dead white blood cells (such as neutrophils) (such as bacteria).
- It can be odorless, yet it occasionally has an unpleasant odor.
- The body sends neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, to kill the bacteria or fungi when it notices an infection.
- Some of the neutrophils and tissue surrounding the infected region will perish during this process. This decaying matter builds up as pus.
- Pus can be produced by a variety of infections.
- Pus is particularly common in infections caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes.
- Both of these bacteria produce toxins that cause tissue to deteriorate and produce pus.
