What are the main two types of lymphocytes?
T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes

suppressor T-cells
What are two kinds of lymphocytes?
Lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell found in the vertebral immune system. Lymphocytes can be divided into Large lymphocytes and small lymphocytes when viewed under the microscope. The Large lymphocytes include natural killer cells (NK cells) There are mainly two types of Lymphocytes. T Lymphocytes and B Lymphocytes. (these are small lymphocytes according to the microscopic view) B Lymphocytes have 3 subsets. You can see the attached link for further information.
Why do conditions that cause destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes cause malfunctioning of both specific and nonspecific immune responses?
The destruction of B lymphocytes and or T lymphocytes is a cell injury. Both of these lymphocytes are needed to activate the specific and nonspecific immune responses.
What kinds of lymphocytes are there?
Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell. There are two kinds of lymphocytes. These are the T-cells and B-cells.
Where do B- and T-lymphocytes originate?
lymphocyte counts
What are lympthocytes?
Lymphocytes are types of White Blood Cells in the immune system. There are two main types of lymphocytes,B lymphocytes,T lymphocytes.Plasma B lymphocytes produce large amounts of antibodies when you have a bacteria, virus or fungi.Memory B lymphocytes remember things you've already had and change into Plasma B lymphocytes to then produce certain antibodies that can kill the bacteria before it turns into a disease.The T lymphocytes are much more aggressive though,things like cytotoxic T lymphocytes will destroy cells that are infected with a virus. Hope I helped. :)
Where do B cells and T cells originate?
They both originate in the red bone marrow. B lymphocytes mature there. T lymphocytes mature in the thymus gland.
What is a collective label for t and b immune cells?
Lymphocytes
Function of T-Lymphocytes?
T- lymphocytes are the "Generals of the immune system" and direct much of the immune response. Their biggest role is in telling B lymphocytes to make antibodies but they also have other functions.
What is the role of tymus in protecting the body against disease?
Thymus produces T lymphocytes, when bone marrow produces B lymphocytes. T lymphocytes eat away the pathogens that has entered in your body.
Where do T cells become immunocompetent?
Lymphocytes... more specifically T lymphocytes.
