The cells involved in the immune response are called immune cells lol. They can be classified into granulocytes and agranulocytes. Granulocytes are so called because they have ___________ and agaranulocytes have no ________.
Examples of granulocytes are neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils. Examples of agranulocytes are lymphocytes, which can be further classified into T cells and B cells.
question: draw simple unlabelled diagrams to show the differences between each type of cell named above
What cell is often called a PMN? And what does PMN stand for?
T cells are involved in cell mediated immunity (CMI) whilst B cells are involved in humoral immunity (HI). Humoral immunity makes use of Ab to eliminate Ag whilst CMI uses cells to kill Ag. There are different types of T cells, Tc Ts Th and NK cells. Tc is a cytotoxic T cell, Ts is a suppressor T cell, Th is a helper T cell and NK is a natural killer cell. A Tc cell kills, a Ts suppresses or stops the IR, a Th is required to start the IR and the NK cell does what it says, it just kills. All it needs is something to kill.
B cells do not produce Ab. B cells differentiate into plasma cells which produce Ab
