A) lymphocytes.
B) granulocytes.
C) phagocytic.
D) heparin secreting.

Accepted Answer

Neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils are all types of granulocytes, which are characterized by their granular cytoplasmic content visible under a microscope. They are involved in innate immunity and help fight off infections through phagocytosis and release of inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and leukotrienes. They are not lymphocytes and only basophils secrete heparin.
