The smallest type of white blood cell (WBC) is the lymphocyte, specifically the small lymphocyte. These cells play a crucial role in the immune system, particularly in adaptive immunity, where they help recognize and respond to specific pathogens. Lymphocytes typically have a small size, with a diameter ranging from about 6 to 12 micrometers. They are essential for immune responses, including the production of antibodies and the destruction of infected cells.
