Accepted Answer

Neutrophils are the most numerous WBCs that have multilobed nuclei and are very phagocytic. Basophils have lobed nuclei but are not phagocytic. Eosinophils also have lobed nuclei but are primarily involved in fighting parasitic infections and allergic reactions. Monocytes have kidney-shaped nuclei and differentiate into macrophages, which are phagocytic. Lymphocytes have round nuclei and are primarily involved in immune responses.
