Answer- D
● Neutrophils, also known as polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes, are the most abundant cell type in human blood.
● They are produced in the bone marrow in large numbers, ~1011 cell per day.
● Three main antimicrobial functions are recognized for neutrophils: phagocytosis, degranulation, and the release of nuclear material in the form of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)
These are the smallest of all granulocytes with a characteristic multi-lobed nucleus with 3-5 lobes joined by a slender strand of genetic material
