Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Basophils have cytoplasmic granules that contain vasoactive amines (e.g.,histamine)and an anticoagulant (heparin).Their function is similar to tissue mast cells.
Neutrophils are the chief phagocytes of early inflammation.
Eosinophils ingest antigen-antibody complexes and are induced by IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions to attack parasites.
Monocytes do not have amines,and their job it to help fight infection.
