Neutrophils and monocytes are the most proficient at phagocytosis in the tissues. Neutrophils are the first responders to sites of infection and inflammation, and are highly effective at engulfing and destroying pathogens. Monocytes, which mature into tissue macrophages, are also highly phagocytic and play an important role in clearing pathogens and cellular debris from tissues.
