what are types of white blood cells?
5353
White blood cells are part of the body's immune system. They help the body fight infection and other diseases. Types of white blood cells are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).

They create antibodies to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders.', 'Neutrophils. They kill and digest bacteria and fungi. ... ', 'Basophils. ... ', 'Eosinophils.']

B cells, also known as B lymphocytes, are a type of white blood cell of the lymphocyte subtype. They function in the humoral immunity component of the adaptive immune system by secreting antibodies.

Myelocytes. Myelocytes, along with metamyelocytes and promyelocytes, are the precursors of neutrophils, the largest class of white blood cell. These immature neutrophils are normally found only in the bone marrow. In the blood, metamyelocytes are the most often observed, accompanied by a few myelocytes.

Red blood cells (RBC, erythrocytes) are hemoglobin-carrying cells that primarily transport oxygen. White blood cells (WBC, leukocytes) take the form of either granulocytes or lymphocytes. Granulocytes are part of the innate immune system and play a key role in the immune response to bacteria, fungi, and parasites.

Leukocytes, or white blood cells, are generally larger than erythrocytes, but they are fewer in number. Even though they are considered to be blood cells, leukocytes do most of their work in the tissues.
1266757
In the blood, two types of white blood cells, neutrophilic leukocytes (microphages) and monocytes (macrophages), are phagocytic. Neutrophils are small, granular leukocytes that quickly appear at the site of a wound and ingest bacteria.

Types of leukocytes are granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils), monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).

The three formed elements of blood are: white blood cells (leukocytes), red blood cells (erythrocytes) and platelets (thrombocytes ).

Different Types of White Blood Cells Neutrophils are infection fighters that increase during bacterial infections (neutrophils are also known as granulocytes (grans), polys, PMNs, or segs). Lymphocytes, on the other hand, can increase in cases of viral infections.

Acute emotional or physical stress can increase WBC counts. There are various types of white blood cells (WBCs) that normally appear in the blood: Neutrophils (polymorphonuclear leukocytes; PMNs)

The blood-forming stem cells in red bone marrow can multiply and mature into three significant types of blood cells, each with their own job: Red blood cells (erythrocytes) transport oxygen around the body. White blood cells (leukocytes) help fight infection and disease.

The different types of white blood cells are given as a percentage: Neutrophils: 40% to 60% Lymphocytes: 20% to 40% Monocytes: 2% to 8%

The innate leukocytes include: natural killer cells, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils; and the phagocytic cells include macrophages, neutrophils, and dendritic cells, and function within the immune system by identifying and eliminating pathogens that might cause infection.

The three types of lymphocytes are T cells, B cells, and natural killer cells. The T cells destroy pathogens in a specific manner and activate B cells to produce antigen-specific antibodies. Phagocytes can be either macrophages, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells or mast cells.
