How does the infection fighting cells manage to move around the body?

Infection-fighting cells, such as white blood cells, can move around the body through the bloodstream and lymphatic system. They are attracted to areas of inflammation or infection by chemical signals released by damaged tissues or pathogens. Once they reach the site of infection, they can engulf and destroy pathogens to help combat infection.


What are monophils?

There is no specific term "monophils" in common use. It is possible that it may be a misspelling or a rare term. Can you provide more context or clarify the term for further assistance?


What are the roles of the antibodies in the body's response to infection?

What we consider anti bodies are actually made up of many different types of cells. Basically consisting of B-cells, T-cells, and macrophages. When an area is infected by antigens, or body recognizes that that part of the body is injured we notice how the infected area becomes inflamed. The injured cells will send chemicals which send a distress signal to the rest of the body. The B-cells, are then called in and will get to the point of infection and will divide into 4 cells. One of the cells become a memory cell taking a piece of the infection to the brain where it will be stored to create proper anti-bodies that are specific to that infection. The other three cells becoming plasma cells which help build up around infection creating a perimeter around cell and catching other filaments so that as blood rushes by, the filaments catch and begin to restrict blood flow and movement. Helper T-Cells are then called in, which attach to the infection and begin to consume the infection preventing any movement or spreading. Then chemicals are called for macrophages which come in and actually eat the helper T-cells and infection.


Can your period alter a bladder infection urine test and show white cells?

White cells are a sign of infection. If you have them in your urine it probably means you have some type infection in your urinary tract. Your period should not have white cells being secreted because there is no infection.


What does white cells do?

Fight infection


What are the blood cells that protect the body from infection?

White blood cells


What kind of cell help the lymphatic system remember an infection so that it can fight the infection better next time?

There are two types of cell that play roles in adaptive immunity. Memory T and memory B cells. These cells are produced in vast numbers when a person's immune system is activated, and these cells float around the blood and lymphatic system for months (and even years!) after the primary infection. When person is exposed to secondary infection, the immune system 'recognises' the pathogenic particles and has a heightened response to the infection.

How do T-Cells fight infection?

Helper T cells activate killer T cells.


What is the function forwhite blood cells?

The main role of white blood cells is to protect the body against infection and fight infection when they occur.


What type of blood cell increases to fight infection?

In the most basic form; white blood cells increase. White blood cells fight infection. However, white blood cells are a group of cells that fight infection. The most important infection-fighting white blood cell is a T-cell. These are the most destructive, attacking white blood cells. Your body actually has to deactivate them to keep them from attacking everything. T-cells is the answer.
