Question

multiple choice question
neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils are the three types of leukocytes classified as

○ granulocytes
○ agranulocytes
○ phagocytes

Explanation:

Leukocytes (white blood cells) are classified into granulocytes and agranulocytes. Granulocytes have granules in their cytoplasm and include neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils. Agranulocytes (like lymphocytes, monocytes) lack visible granules. Phagocytes are cells that perform phagocytosis, and while some granulocytes are phagocytes, the specific classification for neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils as a group is granulocytes.

Answer:

A. granulocytes
