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...
The two most important phagocytic cells are neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are among the first responders to infection, while macrophages are larger cells that play a key role in engulfing and digesting pathogens.
Neutrophils have multilobed nuclei and are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system by protecting the body against infections.
Monocytes become Macrophages which are phagocytes, also Neutrophils are phagocitic...
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.
Formed elements that arise from myeloid stem cells include erythrocytes (red blood cells), megakaryocytes (platelets), granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils), and monocytes (which differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells).
Erythrocytes are not the same type of cell a neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and monocytes. In the defense response neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and monocytes are.
To ingest invading microorganisms that have breached external defenses.
The two most important phagocytic cells are neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are among the first responders to infection, while macrophages are larger cells that play a key role in engulfing and digesting pathogens.
Neutrophils, monocytes and lymphocytes
Neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, and monocytes
Neutrophils have multilobed nuclei and are a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the immune system by protecting the body against infections.
* Lymphocytes * Neutrophils * Basophils * Eosinophils * 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.
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.
it is supposed to be neutrophils..

Neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages are phagocytic formed elements in the blood. They play a crucial role in engulfing and destroying pathogens and foreign particles in the body to help maintain immunity and combat infections.
