Question

which wbc is effective in defending the body against parasites?
a. eosinophils
b. basophils
c. neutrophils
d. monocytes

Explanation:

Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell (WBC). They have granules that contain enzymes which are effective against parasites. Basophils are involved in allergic reactions. Neutrophils are the first responders to bacterial infections. Monocytes differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells and are more involved in phagocytosis of pathogens like bacteria and in immune response modulation rather than specifically targeting parasites.

Answer:

A. Eosinophils
