Granulocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs) represent a subgroup of leukocytes, collectively called myeloid cells. They circulate through the blood and lymphatic system and are rapidly recruited to sites of tissue damage and infection via various chemokine receptors.

Which cells are myeloid cells?
- Basophils.
- Neutrophils.
- Eosinophils.
