Answer:

Monocytes are blood cells that go into tissues and begin to work there as "large phagocytes" (macrophages), absorbing pathogens, foreign bodies and dead cells, and cleaning the body from them. In addition, they present part of the absorbed and digested organisms on their surface and thus activate lymphocytes for immune defense.
