MindMap Gallery Classification and function of immune cells
Immune cells are primarily classified into phagocytes, granulocytes, and the complement system. Phagocytes, including macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells, engulf and digest pathogens. Granulocytes, such as eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils, play a crucial role in the immune response through secretion and phagocytosis. The complement system is a cascade of proteins that enhances phagocytosis, promotes inflammation, and opsonizes pathogens.
