This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Answers_blood_defense_cells, T-lymphocytes (T-cells) types T8-lymphocytes, T4-lymphocytes differentiate into effector T4-lymphocytes, eosinophils functions secrete chemicals that promote inflammation, T4-lymphocytes function have CD4 molecules and T-cell receptors (TCRs) on their surface for protein antigen recognition, Defense Cells in the Blood: The Leukocytes diagnostic tests complete blood count (CBC), lymphocytes types T-lymphocytes (T-cells), 25-40% of the WBCs in the blood life span days to years, Defense Cells in the Blood: The Leukocytes categories mononuclear leukocytes (agranulocytes), detemines the total number of both leukocytes and erythrocytes per ml of blood significance An elevated WBC count (leukocytosis) is seen during infections., B-lymphocytes (B-cells) function mediate humoral immunity, the production of antibody molecules against a specific antigen, NKT cells (natural killer T-cells) function essential in both innate and adaptive immune protection against pathogens and tumors, T-lymphocytes (T-cells) types NKT cells (natural killer T-cells), 1-4% of the WBCs in the blood life span 8-12 days, T8-lymphocytes function have CD8 molecules and T-cell receptors (TCRs) on their surface for protein antigen recognition, lymphocytes types B-lymphocytes (B-cells), neutrophils functions phagocytes, eosinophils abundance 1-4% of the WBCs in the blood, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (granulocytes) description have irregular shaped nuclei with several lobes; their cytoplasm is filled with granules, eosinophils functions phagocytes, T8-lymphocytes function mediate cell-mediated immunity, the production of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs), activated macrophages, activated NK cells, and cytokines against a specific antigen
