Summary Introduction
Introduction :
Leukocytes, also known as White Blood Cells (WBCs), are one of the major constituents of blood. The main function of WBCs is to protect our body against any infection and foreign invasion. These are of five different types − Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Monocytes, and Lymphocytes.
Phagocytosis is a process like endocytosis in which the cell engulfs a large particle that gives rise to an internal compartment known as a phagosome.
