Summary Introduction
To determine:
The blood cells with phagocytic nature.
Introduction:
Blood cells are classified into various categories and the major divisions include erythrocytes, leukocytes, and thrombocytes. Different types of blood cells are designated with distinct functions. Leukocytes are associated with providing immunity to the body and different sub-types of these leukocytes are present in the blood.
