White blood cells are the functional components of the immune system and are therefore referred to as the soldiers of the body.
White blood cells are involved in protective biological functions such as phagocytosis (the engulfing of bacterial pathogens), antibody production and signaling to produce protective effects against viruses and other invading pathogens

How are leukocytes produced?
Leukopoiesis, or the production of WBCs, is stimulated by chemical messengers. These messengers are glycoproteins that fall into interleukins or CSFs which stimulates production of granulocytes. Hematopoietic factors prompt WBCs to mature and divide
Why is there a WBC in urine?

What solid component of the blood destroys microorganisms by phagocytosis?
WBCs
Why is the immune system not a part of the 11 main organ systems?

What WBCs are responsible for inflammation?
Lymphocytes cause the inflammation in some particular parts of the body
How do antibodies fight micro-organisms?
Yes. Antibodies are designed to kill microorganisms like virus and bacteria that infect us. The human body has its natural defense mechanism comprising of the WBCs (White Blood Cells) which fight against these microbes if they enter our body. The WBCs are able to defend us against most simple microbes. Certain microbes are pretty strong and when our WBCs are unable to destroy them, that is when we get infections like fever or flu or any other infection. During such situations, doctors administer us with antibodies that can help our soldiers (WBCs) fight against these invading microbes and destroy them which brings us back to good health.

What happen if rbc is more than wbc in your blood?
There are usually more RBCs than WBCs. If you have an abnormal increase in WBCs, you have an infection or leukemia (a type of cancer).
Where in the body are white blood cells found?
White blood cells are found in the blood vessels. Having said this, one remarkable adaptation of WBCs is their ability to squeeze out of capillaries. This means they don't have to rely on microbes passing through the bloodstream; the WBCs can go directly to the source of the pathogens.
