There are seven (7) main types of white blood cells. These are the Neutrophil, Eosinophil, Basophil, Lymphocyte, Monocyte, Macrophage, and Dendritic cells.
-Neutrophils- Target bacterial and fungal pathogens.
-Eosinophils- Target larger parasites and modulate allergic inflammatory response
-Basophils- Release histamines for inflammatory response
-Lymphocytes- There are three (3) subtypes of lymphocytes:
-B Cells- Release Antibodies and assist activation of T Cells
-T Cells
-Th (Helper) T Cells- Activate and regulate T and B cells
-CD8+ Cytotoxic T Cells- Target virus infected and tumor cells -Gamma Delta T Cells (γδ T cells)- Help modulate adaptive immunity
-Suppressor T Cells- Returns immune system to regular state after destruction of pathogen
-Natural Killer Cells- Target virus infected and tumorous cells in conjunction with CD8+ Cells
-Monocytes- Divide into Macrophages and Dendritic Cells and serve as a carrier of Macrophages and Dendritic Cells to site of immune activity.
-Macrophages- Phagocytosis (Cell Eating or Consumption) of foreign particles such as debris or pathogenic agents. They also stimulate lymphocytes to respond to a pathogen.
-Dendritic Cells- Activate T-Lymphocytes
