Answer: They protect you against illness and disease. Think of white blood cells as your immunity cells. In a sense, they are always at war. They flow through your bloodstream to fight viruses, bacteria, and other foreign invaders that threaten your health.
Answer:
white blood cell, also called leukocyte or white corpuscle, a cellular component of the blood that lacks hemoglobin, has a nucleus, is capable of motility, and defends the body against infection and disease by ingesting foreign materials and cellular debris, by destroying infectious agents and cancer cells.
Types of white blood cells:
1). Monocytes. They have a longer lifespan than many white blood cells and help to break down bacteria.
2). Lymphocytes. They create antibodies to fight against bacteria, viruses, and other potentially harmful invaders.
3). Neutrophils. They kill and digest bacteria and fungi.
