Chapter 19, Problem 13CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The type of white blood cells that you find in the greatest numbers in an infected site.
Introduction:
The types of the white blood cells that are found in the greatest numbers at the infected site include the neutrophils. They endocytose or phagocytose the foreign infectious particles, which prevents the infection from spreading inside the body. This occurs due to the secretion of the chemicals, which destroys the bacteria in the body.
