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...
Neutrophils and monocytes serve similar functions in that they both work to fight off infections. When monocytes get into tissues they can turn into macrophages and present antigens. Neutrophils do not present antigens.
phagocytic cell in the blood, leaves blood and becomes a macrophage which phagocites bacteria, dead cells, cell fragments, and other debris within tissues.
Monocytes have two main important functions in the immune system: (1) replenish resident macrophages and dendritic cells under normal states, and (2) in response to inflammation signals,

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.
they originate from extravascular neutrophie myelocytes in bone marrow 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.

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.
Monocytes, eosinophils and neutrophils.

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.
* 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.
