The body stores white blood cells in different places, known as lymphoid organs.
These include:
-
THYMUS : A gland behind the breast bone, where white blood cells known as lymphocytes mature.
-
SLPEEN : An organ at the upper left of the abdomen where immune cells gather and work.
-
BONE MARROW : Soft tissue in the center of the bones that produces red and white blood cells.
-
LYMPHNODES : These are small, bean-shaped glands throughout the body, especially in the neck, underarms, groin, and abdomen. They link via lymphatic vessels. Immune cells gather in lymph nodes and react when antigens are present. This can lead to swelling.
-
TONSILS, ADENOIDS & APPENDIX : These are gateways for pathogens to enter the body, so lymphoid tissue is also there.
