This also includes things like triglycerides and cholesterol. This increases blood pressure and can sometimes be deadly for people, but it is usually noticed way after it establishes itself.</span>

Describe the function of the each of the following white blood cells:
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Neutrophils are white blood cells that play some very important roles in our innate immune system.

Monocytes are a type of white blood cell. Like other white blood cells, monocytes are important in the immune system's ability to destroy invaders, but also in facilitating healing and repair

Basophils can regulate the behavior of T cells and can control the type and magnitude of secondary immune responses.

Eosinophilic functions include: movement to inflamed areas, trapping substances, killing cells, anti-parasitic and bactericidal activity, participating in immediate allergic reactions, and modulating inflammatory responses.

Explanation:

Neutophils-They circulate around our body in the bloodstream, and when they sense signals that an infection is present, they are the first cells to migrate to the site of the infection to begin killing the invading microbes.

Monocytes-Monocytes are formed in the bone marrow and are released into peripheral blood, where they circulate for several days.

Basophils:-Additionally, they can process and present soluble antigen to Th2 cells against parasitic worms.

Eosinophils-Eosinophils are a type of disease-fighting white blood cell. This condition most often indicates a parasitic infection, an allergic reaction or cancer. You can have high levels of eosinophils in your blood (blood eosinophilia) or in tissues at the site of an infection or inflammation (tissue eosinophilia).
