2. White blood cell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_blood_cell

   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), and agranulocytes (monocytes, and lymphocytes (T cells and B cells)). [5] Myeloid cells (myelocytes) include neutrophils, eosinophils, mast cells ...

3. Phagocyte - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phagocyte

   This material is then displayed to other cells of the immune system. Some phagocytes then travel to the body's lymph nodes and display the material to white blood cells called lymphocytes. This process is important in building immunity, [15] and many pathogens have evolved methods to evade attacks by phagocytes. [2]

4. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granulocyte_colony...

   Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF or GCSF), also known as colony-stimulating factor 3 (CSF 3), is a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the bloodstream. [ 5 ][ 6 ] Functionally, it is a cytokine and hormone, a type of colony-stimulating factor, and is produced by a ...

5. What To Know about Low White Blood Cell Count (Neutropenia) - AOL

   A low white blood cell count occurs when the body does not have enough white blood cells to fight infection. White blood cells are part of the immune system and are responsible for attacking ...

6. Macrophage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrophage

   63261. Anatomical terms of microanatomy. [edit on Wikidata] Macrophages (/ ˈmækroʊfeɪdʒ /; abbreviated M φ, MΦ or MP) are a type of white blood cell of the innate immune system that engulf and digest pathogens, such as cancer cells, microbes, cellular debris, and foreign substances, which do not have proteins that are specific to healthy ...

7. Lymphocyte - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocyte

   A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) in the immune system of most vertebrates. [1] Lymphocytes include T cells (for cell-mediated and cytotoxic adaptive immunity), B cells (for humoral, antibody-driven adaptive immunity), [2] [3] and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs; "innate T cell-like" cells involved in mucosal immunity and homeostasis), of which natural killer cells are an ...
