What else can I help you with?
Phagocytes are white blood cells with a lobed nucleus?
Macrophages. Macrophages are monocytes that have gained the ability to phagocytize bacteria in the tissues. They are agranular because, when stained, they do not have granules in their cytoplasm. This is just a classification of leukocytes (or white blood cells).
What organ is located on the left side of the abdomen just above the stomach and serves as a storage site for leukocytes?
The organ that you are talking about is the Spleen. The spleen stores monocytes, which is a type of leukocytes that help engulfing and digesting bacteria and other harmful microorganisms.
Are all lymphocytes leukocytes but not all leukocytes are lymphocytes?
That's true. A lymphocyte is one particular type of leukocyte. There are quite a few different types of leukocytes.
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.
What type of cells phagocytize foreign or injured cells and play a major role in providing protection against infections?
macrophages
Does bacteria perform mitosis?
No, bacteria do not perform mitosis. They reproduce through a process called binary fission, where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells, not in prokaryotic cells like bacteria.
What WBC type resides primarily in the tissues of the body?
Leukocytes primarily reside in tissues standing guard so to speak, ready to fight off infections such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, and tumor cells.
Is spirochaete bacteria or algae?
Spirochaete is a type of bacteria, not algae. Algae are simple plants that perform photosynthesis, while spirochaetes are a diverse group of spiral-shaped bacteria that can be pathogenic or free-living in various environments.
The type of leukocytes that contain large amounts of the vasodilator histamine are?
basophils
When langerhans cells phagocytize where do they carry them?
Phagotized pathogen by langerhans cells are carried to the lymphocytes. The lymphocytes are a type of WBC that are located in the lymph nodes.
What type of cells phagocytize foreign or injured cell and play a major role in providing protection against infections?
The type of cells that phagocytize foreign or injured cells and provide protection against infections are called phagocytes. This includes various types of cells such as neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. They engulf and destroy pathogens and other harmful substances to help eliminate infections.
What white blood cell is the biggest?
leukocytes are the largest white blood cells.
