Neutrophils and monocytes are similar, as both are phagocytes. Phagocytes are white blood cells that defend the body by ingesting foreign elements, dead or dying cells and bacteria. They are critical in fighting infections and for immediate immunity. Phagocytes are significant in all animal environments and are strongly advanced in vertebrates.
Monocytes are a group of cells in the immune system that have the function of defending the body from foreign bodies such as viruses and bacteria. Neutrophils, in turn, are a type of leukocyte and are therefore responsible for the body's defense and immunity.
In the context of the ecological systems theory of development, the mesosystem involves the interactions of the various settings within the microsystem. For instance, the home and the school interact during parent-teacher conferences
In a continuous reinforcement schedule the desired behavior is reinforced each and every time it occurs. This continuous schedule is used during the first stages of learning in order to create a strong association between the behavior and the response.
