leucocyte
Leucocyte, also known as a white blood cell, is a type of cell in the immune system that plays a major role in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. These cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells. They are named "white blood cells" because they are visible in a microscope and they are typically white in color. They come in five main types: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils.
