A white blood cell, also known as a leukocyte or white corpuscle, is a

cellular component of the blood that lacks hemoglobin, has a nucleus, is
capable of motility, and defends the body against infection and disease.
White blood cells carry out their defence activities by ingesting foreign
materials and cellular debris, by destroying infectious agents and cancer cells,
or by producing antibodies. Although white cells are found in the circulation,
most occur outside the circulation, within tissues, where they fight infections;
the few in the bloodstream are in transit from one site to another. White
cells are highly differentiated for their specialized functions, and they do not
undergo cell division (mitosis) in the bloodstream; however, some retain the
capability of mitosis.

In adults, the bone marrow produces 60 to 70 percent of the white

cells (i.e., the granulocytes). The lymphatic tissues, particularly the thymus,
the spleen, and the lymph nodes, produce the lymphocytes (comprising 20 to
30 percent of the white cells). The reticuloendothelial tissues of the spleen,
liver, lymph nodes, and other organs produce the monocytes (4 to 8 percent
of the white cells). A healthy adult human has between 4,500 and 11,000
white blood cells per cubic millimetre of blood. Fluctuations in white cell
number occur during the day; lower values are obtained during rest and
higher values during exercise.
