Solution

Answer: The color of the eosinophil\'s cytoplasm is a very orange-pink and its nucleus is bilobed. One of its functions, is to protect against parasitic infectitous worms.

Reason:

Monocytes, eosinophils (granulocytes), neutrophils, (these three are circulating phagocytes present in blood) macrophages (present in peripheral tissues) are the examples of phagocytes.Esinophils are involved in phagocytosis of antigen-antibody complexes. These are looking like kidney shaped cells associated with a lot granules in their cell components. They are playing a very important part in destroying microbes by producing a toxin protein called cathepsin. The color of the eosinophil\'s cytoplasm is a very orange-pink and its nucleus is bilobed. One of its functions, is to protect against parasitic infectitous worms.
