    The cells of the adaptive immune system are special types of leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and

    neurotransmitter with their receptors cause’s vasoconstriction and beta adrenergic receptors increases the heart rate and show vasodilation. (Davidyan‚ 2017) The parasympathetic nervous system decreases the blood pressure as well as heart rate through vagus nerve. The diameter of the blood vessels is regulated by the vasomotor system. Vasomotor nerves made up of sympathetic motor nerves transmit impulses to the vasomotor center to innervate smooth muscles in arteries which maintain a vasomotor tone to bring
