Question

multiple choice question
which term describes lymphocytes and monocytes?

granulocytes
multinucleate
phagocytes
agranulocytes

Explanation:

To determine the term for lymphocytes and monocytes, we analyze each option:

• Granulocytes: Have granules (e.g., neutrophils), not lymphocytes/monocytes.
• Multinucleate: Refers to cells with multiple nuclei (e.g., osteoclasts), not relevant here.
• Phagocytes: Cells that engulf particles (e.g., some granulocytes, monocytes), but not specific to lymphocytes/monocytes.
• Agranulocytes: Leukocytes without visible granules, including lymphocytes and monocytes.

Answer:

D. Agranulocytes
