Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that are known to perform phagocytosis, especially against bacteria. They are the first line of defense against bacterial infections and are often the most numerous type of white blood cell in the body. Lymph nodes, eosinophils, and thrombocytes are not directly involved in phagocytosis of bacteria.
