PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -White blood cells are also called leukocytes. They protect you against illness and disease. Think of white blood cells as your immunity cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -White blood cells, or leukocytes (Greek; leucko=white and cyte = cell), are part of the immune system participating in both the innate and humoral immune responses. They circulate in the blood and mount inflammatory and cellular responses to injury or pathogens.

Detailed explanation-3: -The white blood cells are called leukocytes (from the Greek “leukos” meaning “white” and “kytos, ‘’ meaning “cell”). The granular leukocytes (eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils) are named for the granules in their cytoplasm; the agranular leukocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) lack cytoplasmic granules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Granulocytes and agranulocytes are the two types of white blood cells or leukocytes. Granulocytes contain granules or sacs in their cytoplasm and agranulocytes do not. Each type of granulocyte and agranulocyte plays a slightly different role in fighting infection and disease.
