Answer to Question 1

2
Eosinophils are classically associated with infections from parasites. Eosinophils are also more involved in the reactions to allergies. Basophils are central to the inflammatory process and neutrophils respond to bacterial infections. Lymphocytes are cells that work in acquired immunity.

Answer to Question 2

3
Basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils are considered granulocytes which are present in increased amounts in the presence of an infection. Lymphocytes are common in the lymphatic system and work with acquired immunity.
