Question

Agranulocytes are
A. Lymphocytes and monocytes
B. Eosinophils and basophils
C. Lymphocytes and eosinophil
D. Basophils and monocytes

Answer 1

Hint: Agranulocytes are mononuclear leukocytes. They are the type of white blood cells which do not have visible granules. They have a clear cytoplasm which allows better visibility.

Complete step by step answer:
To solve the question we must know about the different types of white blood cells.
White blood cells are the cells present in the blood which helps the body against foreign infectious particles or disease causing microbes. They are produced in the bone marrow. WBC have a nucleus which is absent in RBC and platelets. WBCS are divided into two categories according to the presence and absence of granules-
Granulocytes- These WBC cells contain granular cytoplasm. The nucleus is multilobed. The memory cells are absent in granulocytes. They can even kill parasites. They are involved in phagocytosis.. They are
-Neutrophils
-Eosinophils
-Basophils
Agranulocytes- They do not have granules in the cytoplasm. The nucleus present is of one lobe. They are more common in the lymphatic system. They help the body to fight against disease by secreting antibodies. They have memory cells. They do not kill parasites. They are of two types-
-Lymphocytes
=Monocytes

Thus the correct answer is A. Agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes.

Note:
Agranulocytes are the type of WBC which have uni-lobular nucleus. They have very small or no granules in the cytoplasm. Lymphocytes and monocytes are the type of agranulocytes which helps in protecting the body from foreign invasion.
