Study Notes

Types of Leukocytes

Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cells (WBC) and are phagocytic; they self-destruct after combating foreign invaders, leading to a short lifespan of a few days.
Monocytes are agranular leukocytes capable of migrating into tissues, where they can transform into macrophages for enhanced immune response.
Lymphocytes comprise B lymphocytes that originate in the bone marrow and produce antibodies to combat bacterial infections, while T lymphocytes arise in the thymus and combat cancer cells, viruses, and other foreign substances.
The five main types of leukocytes include neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
Basophils are circulating leukocytes with a bilobed nucleus that produce histamine, playing a role in inflammatory responses.
Eosinophils increase in number during allergic reactions and are active against parasitic infections; they also possess a bilobed nucleus.
