|Antigen-presenting cells |Cells which do not have antigen-specific receptors. Instead, they capture and |
| |process antigens, present them to T cell receptors. These cells include |
| |macrophages, dentritic cells and B cells. |
|B cells |Also known as B cell lymphocytes. |
| | |
| |B cells spend their entire early life in the bone marrow. Upon maturity, their |
| |job is to travel throughout the blood and lymph looking for antigens with which |
| |they can interlock. |
| | |
| |Once a B cell has identified an antigen, it starts replicating itself. These |
| |cloned cells mature into antibody-manufacturing plasma cells. |
|Basophils |Similar to mast cells, but distributed throughout the body. Like mast cells, |
| |basophils release histamine upon encountering certain antigens, thereby |
| |triggering an allergic reaction. |
|Cytotoxic T cells |Also called cytotoxic T lymphocytes or CTLs. |
| | |
|Dendritic cells |Mostly found in the skin and mucosal

    Lymphoid tissue is located in many organs, especially the lymph nodes and in the lymphoid follicles such as the tonsils. Lymphoid tissues consist of lymphocytes and other types of cells for support in case of disease. The lymphatic system also included specialized structures for the production of lymphocytes and also for circulation. Lymph nodes produce the white blood cells that are more commonly known as lymphocytes. These are formed by the thymus, bone marrow and spleen. The first type of lymphocyte is the ones that attach to invading microbes. They do this directly whilst others make antibodies that circulate in the blood and attack microbes. When micro-organisms attack the body, antigens are transported to the lymph. The lymph is then carried through the lymph vessels to different regional lymph nodes. The lymph nodes contain macrophages and dendritic cells ingest the antigens, process them and show the antigens to lymphocytes. They can then start making antibodies or serve as memory cells. Memory cells are used to recognize particular antigens in the future, in time of disease especially. The lymphatic system can therefore be used as transport and defence. It is essential to return the fluid and proteins that have got out through blood capillaries into the blood system and it is also in charge of picking up products of fat digestion in the small…
