What are the functions of granules present in granulocytes?
granulocytes contain granules that play an important role in the immune system. The granules of certain cells, such as NK cells, contain components which can lead to the lysis of neighboring cells. The granules of leukocytes are classified as azurophilic granules or specific granules. Leukocyte granules are released in response to immunological stimuli during a process known as degranulation.
