Answer 4

1. Neutrophils
2. Basophils
3. Eosinphils

Question 5

Describe how phagocytosis is an internal defence

Answer 5

1. When tissue becomes infected monocytes leave the bloodstream and enter the tissue.
2. Monocytes differentiate into macrophages looking to destroy pathogens or waiting for pathogens that come to them.
