Agranular Sites: Monocytes
Monocytes are agranular white blood cells that circulate in the bloodstream. When they encounter infection or tissues, they can transform into macrophages, which are responsible for engulfing and removing foreign substances like bacteria and dead cells. Additionally, there are also macrophages that reside in tissues constantly. Monocytes play a crucial role in the immune response by acting as phagocytes and contributing to inflammation.
