Are T and b cells are two types of phagocytes?

No, T and B cells are not phagocytes. T cells are a type of lymphocyte involved in cell-mediated immunity, while B cells are another type of lymphocyte responsible for producing antibodies. Phagocytes are a different type of immune cell that engulf and digest pathogens.


What are the two main immunocompetent cells?

The two main immunocompetent cells are B-lymphocytes (B-cells) and T-lymphocytes (T-cells). B-cells are responsible for producing antibodies, while T-cells have various roles including helping B-cells produce antibodies and directly killing infected cells.


What function do T cells have in humoral immunity?

T cells play a role in humoral immunity by helping B cells to produce antibodies. They do this by releasing cytokines that stimulate B cells to differentiate into plasma cells and memory B cells. T cells are also involved in regulating the strength and specificity of the antibody response.


B cells and t cells both originate from stem cells in the?

B cells and T cells both originate from the haematopoietic (or hematopoietic) stem cells located in the bone marrow. T cells mature in the thymus. B cells mature in the secondary lymphoid tissues (such as the spleen).


How many different types of cytotoxic t cells does the human body make?

The human body makes two main types of cytotoxic T cells: CD8+ T cells and natural killer T cells. CD8+ T cells are able to directly kill infected cells, while natural killer T cells have a broader range of targets and can also interact with other immune cells.
