Leukocytes (white blood cells). The WBCs are divided into two groups: (1) granular leukocytes, containing distinctive cytoplasmic granules, including neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils and (2) agranular leukocytes, without granules, including monocytes and lymphocytes.
Leukocytes, or white blood cells, play an important role in the immune system. They are produced in the bone marrow and released into the blood when they become mature. There are several types of leukocytes, with functions ranging from protection against infection by microorganisms to protection against tumors and parasites. Leukocytes also play a major role in inflammation and allergic reactions.
