Which of the following cells of the immune system do not perform phagocytosis?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Basophil
Basophils do not phagocytose. They are the circulating counterparts of mast cells: they carry granules of histamine and heparin and release them, driving inflammation and allergic reactions. Macrophages and neutrophils are the principal phagocytes, and eosinophils will engulf antigen-antibody complexes as well as attacking parasites.
