Detailed explanation-1: -White blood cells are the key players in your immune system. They are made in your bone marrow and are part of the lymphatic system. White blood cells move through blood and tissue throughout your body, looking for foreign invaders (microbes) such as bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi.
Detailed explanation-2: -B cells and their antibodies react directly with invading organisms and help rid the body of them. The ab T cells react only with fragments of invading organisms associated with cells. These cells therefore help the body reject organisms, such as viruses or tuberculosis bacteria, that exist inside cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -White blood cells are part of the body’s immune system. 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-4: -Eosinophils and basophils are mainly involved in allergic responses. Lymphocytes, which can be T-cells or B-cells, produce antibodies against foreign organisms and are especially involved in fighting off viruses.
