There are seven main types of white blood cell:
- Neutrophils
- Eosinophils
- Basophils
- Lymphocytes
- Monocytes
- Macrophages
- Dendritic cells
Some of these are further divded into subtypes, which all have separate tasks in the body. For example, lymphocytes include B-cells, T-cells (which itself has some subsubtypes) and NK-cells. For further detail on and explanations of what each type does, see the related links.
