White blood cells such as neutrophils and macrophages that engulf and digest bacteria are called
- A. phagocytes
- B. lymphocytes
- C. platelets
- D. mast cells
Explanation
Phagocytes flow around a particle, internalise it in a vacuole and digest it with lysosomal enzymes. Lymphocytes instead run the specific response, and platelets clot blood, so function names the cell.
