Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are the unsung heroes of our immune system, tirelessly working to protect our bodies from infections and diseases. This quiz will challenge your understanding of these vital cells, from their unique characteristics to their specific functions within the immune response. Sharpen your knowledge and see how well you can identify and differentiate between the various types of leukocytes. Good luck, and may your knowledge of these microscopic defenders be as robust as their role in our health!
