ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. They play an important role in your immune system, which helps your body fight disease and infection. Your immune system is made up of an intricate web of immune cells, lymph nodes, lymph tissue and lymphatic organs. Lymphocytes are a type of immune cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -They help the body fight infection and other diseases. Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).

Detailed explanation-3: -B cells (B lymphocytes) make antibodies to fight an infection. T cells (T lymphocytes) defend the body against disease and infection and control the immune response.

Detailed explanation-4: -The other group of lymphocytes are called B-lymphocytes or B cells. They mature in the bone marrow and gain the ability to recognize specific foreign invaders. Mature B cells migrate through the body fluids to the lymph nodes, spleen, and blood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Lymphocytes include natural killer cells (which function in cell-mediated, cytotoxic innate immunity), T cells (for cell-mediated, cytotoxic adaptive immunity), and B cells (for humoral, antibody-driven adaptive immunity). They are the main type of cell found in lymph, which prompted the name “lymphocyte".
