Leucocytes are classified into Granulocytes and Agranulocytes based on cytoplasmic granules.
  • Neutrophils: Granular cells that engulf bacteria via phagocytosis.
  • Eosinophils: Granular cells active during allergic reactions.
  • Basophils: Granular cells releasing inflammatory chemicals like histamine.
  • Lymphocytes: Non-granular cells responsible for producing targeted antibodies.
  • Monocytes: Non-granular cells transforming into large scavenging macrophages.
