fight large parasites, such as worm
function of basophils
promote inflammation, blood flow to injured tissues
descriptions that apply to basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils.
-all 3 are white blood cells. -all 3 have noticeable cytoplasmic granules. -all 3 have a nucleus.
descriptions that apply to neutrophils
-most abundant of the white blood cells -multi-lobed nucleus -first responders to bacterial infection
describe basophils
-release histamine associated with allergic reactions -nucleus is u-shaped or lobed -take up a basic stain and appear dark-blue in color

basophils
The three types of granular leukocytes are neutrophils, eosinophils, and ___
agranular leukocytes
Together, the monocytes and lymphocytes make up the

basophils are the least numerous
Which of these white blood cell types are normally the least numerous in blood?
platelets
Which type of formed element functions in blood clotting?
eosinophil
Which type of white blood cell is most directly involved in the protection of the body against parasitic infections?
A and B antibodies in the plasma.
AB blood is called the universal recipient because AB blood lacks
