    Leucocytes are white blood cells that play an important role in the immune system. There are two main classes of leucocytes - granulocytes like neutrophils that make up around 50-60% of white blood cells and phagocytose bacteria, and agranulocytes like lymphocytes that are involved in the adaptive immune response. Inflammation, fever, and phagocytosis are non-specific responses to infection that help protect the body by recruiting immune cells, killing pathogens, and signaling the immune system.
