Monocytes defend the body against infection by acting as macrophages. They are capable of eating up foreign bodies that may cause infection.

B. Neutrophils

C. Lymphocytes

Lymphocytes are further divided into two. These are the B cells and the T cells. The B cells are also of two kinds. One of them is the memory B cells, which can remember a foreign body and create antibodies against it to provide for a long-term resistance in case the body gets exposed to the same infectious agent again.
