Granulocytes and monocytes are types of white blood cells involved in the immune response. Granulocytes include neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils, which are characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are the most abundant and primarily fight bacterial infections, while eosinophils are involved in combating parasites and allergic reactions, and basophils play a role in inflammatory responses. Monocytes, on the other hand, differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells, which help in phagocytosis and antigen presentation.
