What is a lymphocyte white blood cells?

Answer 1

Lymphocytes make up 25% of the body's white blood cells. They secrete antibodies that kill pathogens and other micro-organisms. The remaining three-quarters are phagocytes, which engulf pathogens.

Answer 2

Lymphoma is a cancer of one of the types of white blood cells, the lymphocytes. Only a small percetage of lymphocytes circulate in the blood stream as most live in the lymph nodes and your spleen. When a portion of the lymphocytes stops behaving normally and starts to replicate too often it becomes a lymphoma. This cancer usual presents as enlargement of the lymph nodes and/or spleen. Other blood cell cancers can be detected in the blood stream because the abnormal cells circulate among the blood. Lymphomas typically do not as the cancerous cells stay locked in the lymph nodes and spleen. There are two main types of lymphomas: 1. Hodgkin's and 2. Non-Hodgkin's.

Answer 3

We all know that we have blood in our bodies because we can see it when we cut ourselves. But many people don't know that we also have a second circulatory system called the lymphatic system.

This system contains a clear fluid, called lymph, which flows around our bodies in tiny lymph vessels. It destroys and removes invaders such as viruses and bacteria from our bodies. It is an important part of our natural defence system - the immune system - and helps us to fight infection.

The lymphatic system also helps to transport substances such as cells, proteins, nutrients and waste products around the body. In particular, it transports white blood cells, including the special kind of white blood cell known as the lymphocyte.

Answer 4

Yes they are the body's army. They would 'eat' any intruders after the senses detect the intruders. In short yes the lymphocytes are white blood cells
