ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -B lymphocytes, also called B cells, create a type of protein called an antibody. These antibodies bind to pathogens or to foreign substances, such as toxins, to neutralize them. For example, an antibody can bind to a virus, which prevents it from entering a normal cell and causing infection.

Detailed explanation-2: -B cells are part of the immune system and develop from stem cells in the bone marrow. Also called B lymphocyte.

Detailed explanation-3: -B cells are a type of lymphocyte that are responsible for the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system. These white blood cells produce antibodies, which play a key part in immunity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Other white cells, called lymphocytes, target attacks in another way, by making antibodies. These cells detect antigens-proteins on the surface of pathogens which are different to the surface markers on the body’s own cells.
