  8. Functions of WBC’s • Neutrophils – Phagocytosis using lysozymes, defensins, and oxidants. • Eosinophils - destroy parasites and combat histamines. • Basophils – release heparin, histamine, and serotonin. • Monocytes – Phagocytosis, clean cellular debris. • Lymphocytes – B-cells, T-cells and NK-cells.
