What are the functions of Neutrophils?
Phagocytosis and release of enzymes to kill pathogens.
What is the function of Lymphocytes in the immune system?
Key players in adaptive immunity, forming memory cells after infection for faster response upon re-exposure.
What is the structure of Lymphocytes?
Smaller than monocytes with a large, round nucleus and a thin rim of cytoplasm.
What is the function of Basophils?
Release histamine during allergic responses and inflammation.
What role do Eosinophils play in the immune system?
Combat parasitic infections and are involved in allergic reactions.
What is the structure of Granulocytes?
Characterized by granules in their cytoplasm, with three main types: neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
What are the three main types of White Blood Cells?
Monocytes, Lymphocytes, and Granulocytes.
How do Monocytes contribute to the immune system?
Act as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) to activate T-cells and release cytokines to recruit other immune cells.
What are White Blood Cells (WBCs)?
Essential components of the immune system, involved in protecting the body against infections and foreign invaders.
What is the structure of Monocytes?
Largest type of WBC with a kidney-shaped nucleus and abundant cytoplasm with a grayish-blue tint.
What are the two main types of Lymphocytes?
B Lymphocytes, which produce antibodies, and T Lymphocytes, which include Helper T-cells and Cytotoxic T-cells.
What is the primary function of Monocytes?
Differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells, engulf and digest pathogens and dead cells through phagocytosis.
How do Granulocytes respond to infections?
Provide rapid response to infections and play a role in both innate and adaptive immunity.
How do Lymphocytes recognize and respond to antigens?
They recognize specific antigens and coordinate immune responses.
