Monocytes ARE a a type of leukocyte , part of the human body's immune system,
monocytes have 2 funtions:
1. to replenish macrophages and dendrites to normal state
2. monocytes can quickly (takes 8-12 hours and yes its not quickly....) go to the site of the infection and divide the tissue AND differentiate macrophages and dendritic cells to elicit an immune response...

Which are the two most important phagocytic cells?
- Neutrophils - Monocytes
Which white blood cell have multilobed nuclei?
Neutrophils.
What is the largest white blood cell and phagocytic?
Monocytes become Macrophages which are phagocytes, also Neutrophils are phagocitic...
What are the seven types of leukocytes?
The seven types of leukocytes are: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes. Neutrophils, basophils, esinophils, monocytes and lymphocytes are the five most commonly thought of.
Origin of neutrophils?
they originate from extravascular neutrophie myelocytes in bone marrow cells.
Which are the two most important phagocytic cells?
- Neutrophils - Monocytes
Which white blood cell have multilobed nuclei?
Neutrophils.
Which cell is not the same type as the others?
Erythrocytes are not the same type of cell a neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and monocytes. In the defense response neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and monocytes are.
What actively phagocytic leukocytes?
To ingest invading microorganisms that have breached external defenses.
What is the largest white blood cell and phagocytic?
Monocytes become Macrophages which are phagocytes, also Neutrophils are phagocitic...
Of the granulocytes phagocytosis is characteristic of the neutrophil and the?
Neutrophils are the only granulocytes that phagocytize bacteria. (Granuloctyes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.) Eosinophils do NOT phagocytize (eat); they kill parasidic worms by releasing enzymes and chemicals that create holes in the cells' membranes. Two types of agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. Monocytes function in phagocytosis. Also, monocytes turn into macrophages in tissues.
Which of the following formed elements are phagocytic?
Monocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils.
Which WBC take part in diapedesis?
Neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes
Which leukocytes are derived from the myeloid line?
Neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes
What are the seven types of leukocytes?
The seven types of leukocytes are: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and lymphocytes. Neutrophils, basophils, esinophils, monocytes and lymphocytes are the five most commonly thought of.
What are all the defenses of the immune system?
* Lymphocytes * Neutrophils * Basophils * Eosinophils * Monocytes
Which are there more of neutrophils eosinophils basophils lymphocytes or monocytes?
I know neutrophils are most numerous, then eosinophils, and basophils are least numerous. I don't know where on the continuum monocytes and lymphocytes lie.
