What is the difference between monocytes and lymphocytes?
Monocytes send chemical messages to the body to produce substances that will kill pathogens. Lymphocytes create antibodies that
attach to invading pathogens, so that they can be targeted for destruction by T-cells and other white blood cells.
Monocytes leave the blood system, enter tissue, and become macrophages, vacuuming up cellular debris and gobbling pathogens.
Lymphocytes migrate from the bone marrow to the thymus and become T-cells, while others in the bone marrow become B-cells.
