Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutrophils are the leukocytes primarily responsible for destroying bacteria through phagocytosis, the process of engulfing and digesting foreign invaders. Erythrocytes are red blood cells and do not have a role in the immune response. Lymphocytes play a role in specific immunity and are not primarily responsible for destroying bacteria. Eosinophils are important in fighting parasitic infections and allergic reactions, but not specifically bacterial infections. Basophils release histamine and are not primarily responsible for destroying bacteria.
