NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neutrophils: Help protect your body from infections by killing bacteria, fungi and foreign debris. Lymphocytes: Consist of T cells, natural killer cells and B cells to protect against viral infections and produce proteins to help you fight infection (antibodies).

Detailed explanation-2: -There are several types of white blood cells and they have different roles in defending the body against bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic infections. When they locate an infection, these cells move to the site under attack to destroy the invading pathogen and prevent illness. Some directly fight intruders.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phagocytes are a group of white blood cells that includes neutrophils. These cells consume bacteria and other pathogens to protect the body from infection. The process begins when chemicals from a pathogen, or damaged tissue, attract a phagocyte. The phagocyte binds to the microbe, envelopes it, and then eats it.

Detailed explanation-4: -White blood cells are part of the body’s immune system. They help the body fight infection and other diseases. Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).
