Front

What is the function of Eosinophils?

Back

Eosinophils fight allergic reactions, parasitic infections, and inflammation in the body.

Front

What type of leukocyte is responsible for allergic reactions and contains histamines?

Back

Basophil.

Front

What type of leukocyte is primarily involved in fighting bacterial infections?

Back

Neutrophil.

Front

What is the role of Platelets in the blood?

Back

Platelets are responsible for stopping bleeding in a vessel.

Front

What are the main types of white blood cells (WBCs)?

Back

The main types of WBCs are Basophils, Eosinophils, Neutrophils, Monocytes, and Lymphocytes.

Front

What is the primary function of Neutrophils?

Back

Neutrophils are the first responders to bacterial infections and are crucial for the immune response.

Front

What do Basophils release during an allergic reaction?

Back

Basophils release histamines and other chemicals that contribute to inflammation.

Front

What is the difference between RBCs and WBCs?

Back

RBCs (Red Blood Cells) carry oxygen, while WBCs (White Blood Cells) are involved in the immune response.

Front

What is the role of Monocytes in the immune system?

Back

Monocytes differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells to help engulf and destroy pathogens.

Front

How do Eosinophils contribute to the immune response?

Back

Eosinophils attack larger parasites and modulate allergic inflammatory responses.
