108
Q

what is the role of lymphocytes? types? what do those types do?

A

Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that play a key role in the immune system. They are divided into two main types: T-lymphocytes (or T-cells) and B-lymphocytes (or B-cells). T-cells help to directly attack infected or cancerous cells, while B-cells produce antibodies to help fight against bacterial and viral infections.

109
Q

function of monocytes and relation with lymphocytes

A

Monocytes are also a type of white blood cell. They are larger than lymphocytes and have a longer lifespan. They can develop into macrophages and dendritic cells, which are important in the immune response. Macrophages are known for phagocytosis, the process of engulfing and digesting foreign particles, such as bacteria, and also for presenting antigens to T cells. Dendritic cells are known for their ability to capture antigens and present them to T cells.
