Phagocytes allow lysosomes to fuse with the vesicles that contain the ingested bacteria and viruses. Lysosomal enzymes then destroy the bacteria and viruses before they can harm the animal.

Neutrophils are the only granulocytes that phagocytize bacteria. (Granuloctyes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.) Eosinophils do NOT phagocytize (eat); they kill parasidic worms by releasing enzymes and chemicals that create holes in the cells' membranes. Two types of agranulocytes are lymphocytes and monocytes. Monocytes function in phagocytosis. Also, monocytes turn into macrophages in tissues.

Macrophages. Macrophages are monocytes that have gained the ability to phagocytize bacteria in the tissues. They are agranular because, when stained, they do not have granules in their cytoplasm. This is just a classification of leukocytes (or white blood cells).
