neutrophils: the white blood cells that function in phagocytosis.
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD): a coenzyme that functions during respiration to produce ATP.

The major oxidation system in neutrophils and monocytes is a combination of NADPH oxidase and myeloperoxidase.

There are three types of granulocytes: neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils (named according to their staining properties).

Monocytes share the 'vacuum cleaner' function of neutrophils, but are much longer lived as they have an additional role.
Full article >>>

Neutrophils enter the tissue fluid by squeezing through capillary walls and phagocytozing foreign substances. Macrophages release white blood cell growth factors, causing a population increase for white blood cells. Lymphocytes fight infection.

granulocytes White blood cells (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils) bearing "granules" (vacuoles) in their cytoplasm that stain deeply.
Full article >>>

Large white blood cells that contribute to the immune defenses by ingesting microbes, other cells, and foreign particles. The two principal phagocytes are neutrophils and monocytes.
