Dear student,
 
Granulocytes are phagocytes, that is they are able to ingest foreign cells such as bacteria, viruses and other parasites. Granulocytes are so called because these cells have granules of enzymes which help to digest the invading microbes. ... Neutrophils are by far the most prevalent of these cells.
