Atypical lymphocytes - are caused by viral infections, may be noted in lymphocytic leukemia, and may be seen in Allergies.

Ovalocytes are typically seen in cases of low hemoglobin or red blood cells counts, ie anemia. Sometimes even a slight decrease in rbc counts may cause a few ovalocytes to be seen.

Sometimes the lab tech reads the smear too closely noteing any ovalocyte or atypical lymph seen but the numbers are not actually a high enough percentage to be considered abnormal.

Yes, lymphocytes travel in both the bloodstream and the lymphatic system. They are produced in the bone marrow and circulate through the bloodstream to reach different tissues. They can also enter the lymphatic system to move between lymph nodes and lymphoid tissues.


Are lymphocytes that coordinate cellular and humoral immune responses?

Yes, lymphocytes play a crucial role in both cellular and humoral immune responses. T cells are mainly involved in coordinating cellular immune responses, while B cells are responsible for mediating humoral immune responses by producing antibodies. Both types of lymphocytes work together to provide a comprehensive immune defense against pathogens.


What is T4-lymphocyte?

A special type of germ or disease fighting cell. White blood cells are the largest group of these type of cells. They are further divided into granulocytes and lymphocytes. Lymphocytes travel in the lymphatic vessels of the body. Lymphocytes are further divided into T and B type. Both types produce proteins that help the body fight germs.


Thymus gland in both endocrine and lymphatic system?

The thymus gland is a part of both the endocrine and lymphatic systems. In the endocrine system, it produces hormones that are essential for the development of T lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. In the lymphatic system, the thymus is where these T lymphocytes mature and become capable of fighting infections and diseases.
