A type of cell of the human immune system that ingests bacteria, viruses, and other foreign matter, thus removing potentially harmful substances from the bloodstream. These substances are usually then digested within the phagocyte.
granulocyte, lymphocyte, monocyte, basophil and eosinophil are all white blood cells
Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Basophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte
The medical term for a white blood cell phagocyte and precursor of a macrophage is a monocyte. Monocytes circulate in the bloodstream before migrating to tissues, where they can mature into macrophages to help with immune responses and clearing infections.
Monocytes are a type of white blood cell. A high monocyte count in the blood could mean an infection caused by a virus or parasite. It could also be indicative of chronic inflammatory disease.
A blood test is used to find out what components are in your blood and in what proportions. When they separate the solids they look at the red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelets. The monocytes are a common type of white blood cell, or leukocyte.
2 to 10% of the total white cell count
Monocyte
Some examples of white blood cells include neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. These cells play important roles in the immune system by defending the body against infections and foreign substances.

A monocyte is a specific type of leukocyte (white blood cell) that picks up debris and other waste in the body. It develops into macrophages and "eats" the bad substances that have entered the body. It is the third most common WBC in the body.
The white blood cell has nucleus that red blood cell does not
