Hello dear student,

As you asked about lymphocytes and monocytes. So we are happy to help you with this . First of all these are the cells which are found in blood. Monocyte and lymphocytes both are the types of white blood cells.

  • Monocytes : Monocytes are similar to neutrophils. They destroy bacteria, but usually those causing chronic infections. Monocytes also play a role in repairing damaged tissues.
  • Lymphocytes : There are three types of lymphocytes.
  1. B lymphocytes produce antibodies to attack specific viruses, bacteria, and other foreign invaders.
  2. T lymphocytes help to identify cells that require an immune response.
  3. Natural killer cells, the third type, destroy cancer cells and viruses.

I hope this was helpful to you

Best wishes
