Answer 10

Platelets/ Thrombocytes

Question 10

WBC’s that are usually the first of the white blood cells to respond to infection.

They normally remain in the blood for about 10–12 hours and then move into other tissues. Once neutrophils leave the blood, they seek out and phagocytize bacteria, antigen-antibody complexes, and other foreign matter.
