ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Types of leukocytes are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).

Detailed explanation-2: -Some types of white blood cells, called phagocytes (FAH-guh-sytes), chew up invading organisms. Others, called lymphocytes (LIM-fuh-sytes), help the body remember the invaders and destroy them. One type of phagocyte is the neutrophil (NOO-truh-fil), which fights bacteria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monocytes and neutrophils are examples of phagocytic leukocytes and it can be appreciated that they play a key role during inflammation due to their adhesion, trans-endothelial migration and subsequent activation into the surrounding tissues [13, 14].

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between lymphocytes and phagocytes is that lymphocytes generate specific immune responses against pathogens whereas phagocytes generate the same response to any pathogen. This means lymphocytes are the tools of the adaptive immunity whereas phagocytes are the tools of innate immunity.
