Which of the following leukocyte is NOT correctly matched with its function?

lymphocytes: immune response against viral infections

eosinophil: bacterial macrophage

monocytes: macrophage

basophils: inflammation

eosinophil: bacterial macrophage

Eosinophils: bacterial macrophage would not match with its function.

Explanation:

The blood is divided into three parts namely RBC, WBC and blood platelets. WBC is further classified as Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, and Monocytes based upon the function preformed by them. The functions performed by them are as follows:

Neutrophils - They are involved in killing harmful bacteria. Eosinophils - They protect the body form parasitic infection. Basophils - It is involved in allergic response and reaction causes inflammation due to the interaction. Lymphocytes - It exerts against viral infection. Monocytes - It is involved in formation of macrophages.

The correct answer is option eosinophil: bacterial macrophage

Eosinophil is responsible for defense against parasitic infections and few are involved in organ formation.
