To ingest invading microorganisms that have breached external defenses.
the most comon leukocyte in peripheral blood is neutrophils
Neutrophils are the most active phagocytic cells found in circulating blood. They are the first responders to sites of infection or inflammation, where they engulf and destroy pathogens. Monocytes also play a role in phagocytosis but typically differentiate into macrophages once they leave the bloodstream and enter tissues.
The three Granular leukocytes are Neutrophils, Basophils, and Eosinophils.

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.
Usually this indicates an active infection. The numbers stated won't tell where the infection is--only that it may be present. Usually we look at what type of neutrophils are elevated and can tell if the infection is brand new or has been present a little while. Depending on the presence of symptoms, we will often prescribe an antibiotic for active infections. ! Dr. B.
Dead Neutrophils collect at the site of infection to form pus.
Phagocytosis is an active cellular process by which specialized cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils, engulf and digest foreign particles or pathogens. It requires energy and is a form of endocytosis where the cell membrane actively surrounds and engulfs large particles.
no.
Neutrophils and macrophages attack and destroy bacteria. Neutrophils are mature cells that can ingest bacteria. Macrophages enter tissues and swell ingesting bacteria that is in the tissues and blood stream.
