Blood Cell Functions
Match the cell type to it's function

| A | B |
|---|
| Erythrocyte | transports oxygen |
| Granular Leukocyte | neutrophils, basophils & eosinophils |
| Agranular Leukocye | monocyte & lymphocyte |
| Neutrophils | move to site of infection, recognize and destroy bacteria, tissue debris and other foreign materials |
| Eosinophils | "eat" foreign matter that has been labeled with antigens, defends against infection by parasites and helps control the severity of allergic reactions in the body |
| Basophils | release haparin and histamine which cause blood vessels to dilate, allowing other leukocytes to move out of the blood vessel, into the site of infection. |
| Monocytes | move to the site of infection, where they change into cells that "eat" dead tissue cells and dead neutrophils as well as microorganisms in the area. |
| B Lymphocytes | once activated, these produce antibodies, which label foreign material for destruction by a neutrophil, eosinophil or macrophage |
| T Lymphocytes | once activated, these directly attack and destroy foreign cells in the body and body cells that have become infected by foreign materials (bacteria/viruses) |
