The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the types of granulocytes and agranulocytes, we will analyze each statement and identify the corresponding cells. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Phagocytic Cells**: - The first statement mentions phagocytic cells that destroy foreign organisms. - Granulocytes involved in this function include **neutrophils**, which are known for their ability to engulf and digest pathogens. - **Monocytes**, which are agranulocytes, also have phagocytic capabilities. - Therefore, both neutrophils (granulocyte) and monocytes (agranulocyte) fit this description. 2. **Identify Cells that Secrete Histamine, Serotonin, Heparin**: - The second statement refers to cells that secrete substances involved in inflammatory reactions. - **Basophils**, a type of granulocyte, secrete histamine and heparin, which are crucial in the inflammatory response. - Thus, basophils are the cells that match this description. 3. **Identify Cells that Resist Infections and are Associated with Allergic Reactions**: - The third statement discusses cells that resist infections and are linked to allergic reactions. - **Eosinophils**, another type of granulocyte, are primarily involved in combating parasitic infections and are also associated with allergic responses. - Therefore, eosinophils are the relevant cells for this statement. 4. **Identify Cells Responsible for Immune Responses**: - The fourth statement indicates cells responsible for the immune responses of the body. - Both **neutrophils** and **monocytes** are key players in the immune response, as they help in identifying and eliminating pathogens. - Hence, this statement can refer to either neutrophils (granulocyte) or monocytes (agranulocyte). 5. **Summarize Findings**: - From the analysis: - **Phagocytic cells**: Neutrophils (granulocyte) and Monocytes (agranulocyte) - **Secrete histamine, serotonin, heparin**: Basophils (granulocyte) - **Resist infections and allergic reactions**: Eosinophils (granulocyte) - **Immune responses**: Neutrophils (granulocyte) and Monocytes (agranulocyte) 6. **Determine the Correct Answer**: - Based on the analysis, we can conclude that: - The first statement can refer to neutrophils and monocytes. - The second statement is specifically about basophils. - The third statement is specifically about eosinophils. - The fourth statement can refer to neutrophils and monocytes. - Therefore, the correct answer is **Option B**, which includes neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils.
