Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eosinophils are known to attract acidic (eosin) dyes and play a role in defending the body against allergens and parasites. Basophils also attract acidic dyes, but their main function is releasing histamine in response to allergens, rather than defending against them. Neutrophils are phagocytic cells that play a role in innate immunity, while lymphocytes are part of adaptive immunity.
