Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonphagocytic leukocytes do not have the ability to engulf and digest foreign particles, unlike phagocytic leukocytes such as neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes. Lymphocytes, on the other hand, play a role in the immune response by recognizing and attacking specific invaders, but they do not phagocytose. Basophils are considered phagocytic, though to a much lesser extent than other leukocytes. Therefore, the best choice for nonphagocytic leukocytes is C) lymphocytes.
