∙ 11y agoA neutrophil is one type of a white blood cell (leukocyte/leucocyte) that assists the body's immune system to ward off disease. From 40 - 60% of the white blood cells in an healthy human are neutrophils.
Their purpose is to aid removal of noxious stimuli that cause cell death (necrosis) that lead to inflammation. They will engulf and digest (phagocytose) the foreign materials and die in the process, making the area less toxic, they then themselves need removed or to be apoptosed (killed and removed/absorbed under control).
Neutrophils normally reside in the blood, circulating as part of your innate (passive/non-specific) immune system. They will accumulate at sites of infection and inflammation; they are a phagocytic cell, but die in the process of phagocytosis (engulfing and digesting debris/foreign material), so under microscopy of an infected or inflamed tissue they will be present in abundance. Dead neutrophils are the main component of pus, they are responsible for its whitish colour.
they trap and kill bacteria in the blood
A neutrophil is a leukocyte that has phagocytic activities and consumes foreign microbes and particles.
Neutrophils engulf and destroy bacteria coated with complement proteins or antibodies.
Neutrophils are type of granular leukocytes and are the first to respond to bacterial invasion. They carry out the phagocytosis and release enzymes which destroy bacteria. They are also the most common type of leukocyte in the body - 60-70%.

∙ 11y agoNeutrophils are a part of the innate immune response and are some of the first cells to a sight of infection/injury. They will eat invading pathogens and will kill them. They only live for a few hours, and are highly inflammatory.

∙ 10y agoAssuming you're talking about 'Neutrophil granulocytes' - they are white blood cells (part of the body's defence system) - and are usually one of the first responders to infection or inflammation.

What is significance of band cells present in blood?
Bands are young neutrophils. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell. Bands present in the blood means the body is making new neutrophils.
What does neutrophil levels indicate?
neutrophils love bacteria, levels will go up if backteris is present in the body, neutrophils will engulf the bateria.
Which wbc serves to engulf and digest foreign particles in the body?
This is a neutrophil.
What is the most numerous leukocyte?
the most comon leukocyte in peripheral blood is neutrophils
What are the three types of granular leukocytes?
The three Granular leukocytes are Neutrophils, Basophils, and Eosinophils.
Is pus a bad word?
No. It is the breakdown of used neutrophils in an infected wound that forms pus. The neutrophils are a type of bacteria (or any foreign body) fighting white blood cells.
What is the First leukocyte to arrive at the site of an infection?
Neutrophils
Are the most common types of white blood cell?
leukocytes OR NeutrophilsBetween Lymphocytes or Neutrophils, Neutrophils would be the answer-APEX
What is scanty neutrophils?
Scanty Neutrophils means that there is a small amount of neutrophils. Neutrophils are white blood cells that stain when dyed and often can tell a physician with test when someone is in the disease state.
How neutropenia related with anorexia and weakness?
Neutropenia is a hematological disorder in which the body has a very low count of neutrophils which are the most important type of white blood cells that make up 50%-70% of the body's cirulating white blood cells which fight of infections. Anorexia nervosa weakens the body's immune system because it is not getting all of the things the body needs to run therefore compromising the creation of the neutrophils. If the neutrophils are not being produced to fight off infection, then the person becomes sick or weak very easily.
What are three types of granulocytic white blood cells?
neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils.
What are the most numerous white blood cells?
White Blood Cells (WBCs) are of main two types: Granulated and Agranulated. There are three types of granulated WBC: Eosinophils, Basophils and Neutrophils.. While agranulated WBC are of two types: Lymphocytes and Monocytes..The most numerous WBc are Neutrophils, which are of 62% of total number of WBCs in the body... Neutrophils are neutral in nature and having 3-7 lobed nucleus..
