Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphocytes. They create antibodies to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders.

Detailed explanation-2: -They are attracted towards the infective agents, then surround and engulf them. Once inside the cell, these white cells then release chemicals that break the organism down and destroy it. Other white cells, called lymphocytes, target attacks in another way, by making antibodies.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stem cells in the bone marrow are responsible for producing white blood cells. The bone marrow then stores an estimated 80–90% of white blood cells. When an infection or inflammatory condition occurs, the body releases white blood cells to help fight the infection.
