Question

Enumerate the functions of leucocytes.

Answer 1

• Phagocytosis: WBCs, especially neutrophils, engulf foreign bodies such as bacteria and fungi and kill them.
• Inflammation: It is the natural response of the body to local injury or invasion by pathogens.
• Formation of antibodies: B-lymphocytes produce antibodies that bind to foreign bodies, neutralize them, and aid in their phagocytosis.
