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 two main type of white blood cells?
Lymphocytes and Phagocytes
What kills infections'?
Phagocytes, natural killer cells, B and T lymphocytes.
All are a part of the immune system except tonsils thrombocytes lymphocytes phagocytes or the heart?
thrombocytes
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
What cell kills infections?
Phagocytes, natural killer cells, B and T lymphocytes.
Does lymphocytes have a cytoplasm?
Yes they do have cytoplasm but its less then that of phagocytes plus its not granular.
What are blood cells that the body has?
White blood cells (Phagocytes and Lymphocytes) Red blood cells (also in the blood - Platelets and Plasma)
Difference function between phagocytes and lymphocytes?
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.
How can white blood cells fight infections once microorganisms get into the body?
Phagocytes surround and then physically ingest the microorganisms. Lymphocytes produce antibodies to kill the microorganisms.
What cells are involved in active immunity?
Alot of cell types are involved in human body immunity. Starting with epithelial cells that provide the first barrier against invading bodies. Then you have phagocytes, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and Natural Killer cells.
