multiple choice question
name the leukocyte that would help a patient combat a parasitic tapeworm infection.

monocyte
eosinophil
neutrophil
basophil

Explanation:

Eosinophils are leukocytes that play a key role in combating parasitic infections (like tapeworm infections) by releasing substances that damage the parasite. Monocytes are involved in phagocytosis and immune response regulation, neutrophils fight bacterial infections, and basophils are involved in allergic reactions and inflammation. So the leukocyte to combat a parasitic tapeworm infection is Eosinophil.

Answer:

B. Eosinophil
