<p>Eosinophils are mainly located in connective tissue associated with routes into the animal i.e. [[Cardiorespiratory System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology#Upper Respiratory Tract|respiratory]], [[Alimentary System Overview - Anatomy & Physiology|alimentary]], [[Urinary System - Anatomy & Physiology|uro]][[Reproductive System - Anatomy & Physiology|gential]] systems. They play key roles in reacting to [[Parasites|parasites]] and allergens but have limited phagocytic ability and therefore play no role in bacterial infections.</p>

<p>The eosinophil is a [[Granulocytes|granulocyte]] and has a similar development to the other [[Granulocytes|granulocytes]]. This process is called [[Leukopoiesis#Granulopoiesis|granulopoiesis]] and further details can be found [[Leukopoiesis#Eosinophils|here]]. Eosinophils are more prominent in some species than others, notably in the pig and the horse.</p>

<p>The eosinophil is a [[Blood Cells - Overview|granulocyte]] and has a similar development to the other granulocytes; this process is called [[Leukopoiesis#Granulopoiesis|granulopoiesis]]. Eosinophils differ morphologically in the size and density of the cytoplasmic granules between different animal species; the granules are more prominent in the pig and the horse.</p>
