Overview
- Monocytes: macrophage
- Lymphocytes: B cell, T cell
- Granulocytes: neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil
-
Macrophage (monocytes)
Role: phagocytose debris and microorganisms; amoeboid motility, chemotaxis
-
B cell (lymphocytes)
Role: mature into plasma cell and produce antibodies
-
T cell (lymphocytes)
Role: kill virus-infected cells, tumor cells, and reject tissue grafts; also control immune response
-
Neutrophil (granulocytes)
Role: phagocytose bacteria resulting in pus; amoeboid motility; chemotaxis
-
Eosinophil (granulocytes)
Role: destroy parasites; allergic reactions
-
Basophil (granulocytes)
Role: store and release histamine; allergic reactions
