PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In the blood, two types of white blood cells, neutrophilic leukocytes (microphages) and monocytes (macrophages), are phagocytic.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils are phagocytes. A phagocyte is a type of white blood cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells). Checking the number of white blood cells in the blood is usually part of a complete blood cell (CBC) test.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phagocytes include neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs), which have the capacity to engulf and digest relatively large particles on the order of 1–10 µm and even larger. In adults, these cells are generated from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.
