Macrophages are the first line of defense against a foreign substance. The macrophage cell envelopes and begins to break down the foreign substance into smaller pieces allowing the lymphocytes (T cells and B cells) to attack and destroy the foreign substance.

Lympocytes such as B cells and T cells help create a long term immunity against a pathogen (something that causes disease).

∙ 13y ago"Lymphocyte" is just a sub-category under this umbrella label "leukocytes" (white blood cells). NK (natural killers), B and T cells are the three main lymphocytes found in vertebrates. NK cells act as the body's second line of defense (innate immune system), while B and T cells make up the acquired or "adaptive" immune system.

Why is the difference between xylem and phloem important in a plant?
There is structural difference between xylem and phloem. This is because their function is also different. Had there been no difference in structure, how these could have performed different function?
What is the difference structure and function?
What is the difference between structuralism and functionalism in Psychology Schools?
What is the difference between organs and organisms?
An organ is a collection of cells that perform a function whereas an organism is a living thing.
What is the difference between homologous structures and analogous structures?
Homologous = same origin, different function (arms vs. wings) Analogous = same function, different origin (panda thumb)
What is the Difference between organelle and organ system?
An organ is a collection of cells that perform a function (liver, skin, muscles) whereas an organelle is something INSIDE a cell which performs a function for the cell (ribosome, mitochondria)
Basic difference between phagocytes and lymphocytes?
well...phagocytes are mainly part of the immune systems defense system, like when there is an inflammatory response. While lymphocytes are mainly for when the immune system attacks a foreign organism. However, lymphocytes can become phagocytes that's why i didnt say that they were part of a certain sector of the immune system.
What is the importance of recirculation behavior in the lymphocytes?
Lymphocytes and some mononuclear phagocytes can recirculate between lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. This helps in allowing lymphocytes to be exposed to the antigens which they recognise and is, therefore, valuable in the distribution of effector cells of the immune response to the sites where they are needed http://www.fasebj.org/cgi/reprint/02-0787fjev1.pdf

the difference is ,a structure is where it is placed and the function is what it daos

What is the main structural difference between monocytes and lymphocytes?
Monocytes are granulocytes, meaning they have small granules in them. Lymphocytes do not. Histologically, you should be able to see some peripheral cytoplasm on a lymphocyte but not on a monocyte.
What is the difference between a formula and a function?
A function has no repeated x values
What is the difference between a function and a formula?
A function has no repeated x values

t is the diffrence between a rational funcrion and a linerar and polynomial function
What is the difference between atypical and reactive lymphocytes?
the reactive : change in morphology but without malignant atypical : also chagne in morpholgy but with malignant
