Function- What is the purpose of the body part neutrophils?
Shereseww
Neutrophils, a type of granulocyte (a type of white blood cell including neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils), is the most abundant white blood cell in the body. They are the most important component of the body's innate immune system. They are crucial for the generation of an acute inflammation response that is the body's first answer to almost all insults (foreign body, microbe invasion, etc). Their primary function is to phagocytose microorganisms and kill them with reactive oxygen species (superoxide, peroxide, hypochlorous acid) generated by a 'repiratory burst' (using the enzyme NADPH oxidase). Being granulocytes, they can also degranulate. However their degranulation capability is not as prominent as their innate phagocytotic capability. Eosinophils and basophils are more adapt at mediating their effects through degranulation.
