Question

What are phagocytic cells from the given diagram?

• A. I and V
• B. I and III
• C. I and IV
• D. I and II

Answer 1

The correct option is A I and V

The given diagram shows different types of white blood cells or leucocytes.

I represents monocyte.

II represents lymphocyte.

III represents eosinophil.

IV represents basophil

V represents neutrophil.

Out of these cells, phagocytic cells are monocytes and neutrophils i.e. I and V.

Monocytes are agranulocytes which are actively motile and phagocytic cells. Neutrophils are granulocytes which perform phagocytosis and destroy harmful bacteria entering the body.

So, the correct answer is 'I and V'.
