Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -There are five types of white blood cells: Neutrophils: Help protect your body from infections by killing bacteria, fungi and foreign debris. Lymphocytes: Consist of T cells, natural killer cells and B cells to protect against viral infections and produce proteins to help you fight infection (antibodies).
Detailed explanation-2: -When harmful microbes (tiny particles) enter and invade the body, the body produces white blood cells to fight the infection. The white blood cells identify the microbe, produce antibodies to fight it, and help other immune responses to occur. They also ‘remember’ the attack. This is how vaccinations work.
