Video 1: Cells of the immune system (part 1)

- Lymphocytes (T cells, B cells, and NK cells), neutrophils, and monocytes/macrophages

are the most common immune system cells. These are all different kinds of white
blood cells. Leukocytes arise from bone marrow, in the bone marrow most of these
charge carriers as well as mature leukocytes are found in blood and lymph that are
dispersed throughout the body. Leukocyte typing is further classified into two groups
granulocytes and agranulocytes, the basis of this classification is their appearance
under light microscope. Granulocytes are white blood cells that assist the immune
system in combating infection. They have a distinct morphology, with large
cytoplasmic granules that can be stained with basic dyes and a bi-lobed nucleus.
Granulocytes include neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils. Granulocytes,
particularly neutrophils, aid the body in fighting bacterial infections. When there is a
serious infection, the number of granulocytes in the body usually increases.

- A specific type of white blood cell. Agranulocytes include monocytes, lymphocytes an
macrophages. Agranulocytes are white blood cells that lack granules in their
cytoplasm. Lymphocytes have large single nuclei that take up the majority of the cell's
space. Monocytes A type of immune cell that develops in the bone marrow and travels
through the blood to tissues throughout the body, where it matures into a macrophage
or a dendritic cell. Macrophages encircle and kill microorganisms, ingest
foreign material, eliminate dead cells, and stimulate immune responses. On the other hand, lymphocytes A type
of immune cell produced in the bone marrow and found in the blood and lymphatic tissue. B lymphocytes and T
lymphocytes are the two main types of lymphocytes. T lymphocytes help kill tumor cells. And macrophages A
type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates other
immune system cells to function.

Video 3: White Blood Cell Identification

- Granulocytes, lymphocytes, and monocytes are the three types of white blood cells. Granulocytes are so-called
because they have distinct cytoplasmic granulation. Neutrophils (or polymorphonuclear granulocytes),
eosinophils, and basophils are the three types.
