Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -White blood cells, also known as leukocytes, are responsible for protecting your body from infection. As part of your immune system, white blood cells circulate in your blood and respond to injury or illness.

Detailed explanation-2: -Leukocytes are part of the body’s immune system. They help the body fight infection and other diseases. Types of leukocytes are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).

Detailed explanation-3: -Immune responses are mediated by leukocytes, which derive from precursors in the bone marrow.
