The function of neutrophils in the immune system are to kill off invading microbes in your bodies immune system.

Your neutrophils in your immune system circulate throughout your body in your bloodstream.

Then the neutrophils migrate to wherever the infection in your body is to kill off the bad and invading microbes.

Your neutrophils are very important to your bodies immune system and are the most common type of white blood cell in our bloodstream and are among the first immune cells to defend against infections in our bodies.

Neutrophils are also phagocytes, which ingest bacteria and other foreign cells and without them our bodies would continue to have illness and viruses and not be able to fight off the viruses and illnesses.

Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell.

They make up the biggest number of all kinds of white blood cells.

They kill and digest bacteria and fungi to help your body fight infections and heal wounds.

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of granulocytes and make up 40% to 70% of all white blood cells in humans.

They form an essential part of the innate immune system, with their functions varying in different animals.
