·Able to move into and out of blood vessels (diapedesis)

·Can respond to chemicals released by damaged tissues

Leukocytes (detailed)

BNDS | Human Anatomy and Physiology

Granulocytes

A type of immune cell that has granules (small particles) with enzymes that are released during infections, allergic reactions, and asthma. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are granular leukocytes. Also called granulocyte, PMN, and polymorphonuclear leukocyte.

BNDS | Human Anatomy and Physiology

Neutrophils

​• first responder of immune cells

​• most numerous WBC

• develop from the bone marrow-derived cells that migrate to the THYMUS

• regulators of adaptive function serving as primary effectors for cell-mediated immunity

BNDS | Human Anatomy and Physiology

​T Lymphocytes

Cytotoxic T Cells

​• can kill certain cells including foreign cells, cancer cells, and cells infected with a virus
