Q174 / 180 · AIIMS 2019 (26 May) · Zoology

Phagocytosis is shown by

  • A
    lymphocytes and neutrophils
  • B
    monocytes and eosinophils
  • C
    monocytes and basophils
  • Correct answer
    D
    neutrophils and monocytes.

Solution

Among WBCs, neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils are phagocytic cells. But neutrophils and monocytes are primarily phagocytic cells. Eosinophils and basophils can act as phagocytes but this is not their primary function.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
