What types of cells make up the immune system besides the leukoplakia?
The Cells of the Immune System Aims and Objectives By the end of the module you should be able to: appreciate the common origin of the cells of the immune system from the bone marrow describe in simple terms the microscopic appearance of the cells of the immune system: B and T lymphocytes plasma cells macrophages dendritic cells describe in simple terms other effector cells such as: neutrophil polymorphs eosinophil polymorphs mast cells The major cell types in the immune system are lymphocytes and phagocytic/dendritic cells. 1. Lymphocytes There are two broad sub-types of lymphocyte. These are known as B cells and T cells. All of them are derived from the bone marrow but T cells undergo a process of maturation in the thymus gland. Mature lymphocytes all have a similar appearance. They are small cells with a deeply basophilic nucleus and scanty cytoplasm. B and T cells circulate in the blood and through body tissues. B cells give rise to plasma cells which secrete immunoglobulins (antib
There are several types of cells that typically comprise the immune system, most of which are found floating throughout the blood system. The most common are called leukocytes (white cells) that are further broken down into specific categories or types. When a complete blood count is performed the lab technician typically identifies seven types of leukocytes, these are: Eosinophiles, neurosinophiles, macrophages, neutrophiles, basilphiles, platelets, leukophages. The question is a little confusing as leukoplakia is a skin disorder usually found in the mouth, caused by a foreign substance such as smoking or chewing tobacco and poor oral hygiene.
