Monocytes are phagocytic cells that can migrate out into body tissues and differentiate into macrophages. Basophils and eosinophils are involved in allergic reactions and parasitic infections respectively, but are not phagocytic cells. Neutrophils are also phagocytic cells, but they do not differentiate into macrophages. Lymphocytes are involved in adaptive immune responses and are not phagocytic cells.
