White Blood Cells Defined

Cells that circulate in the blood and lymphatic system and congregate in the lymph glands and spleen. (The lymphatic system consists of the tissues and organs, including the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and lymph nodes that produce and store cells that fight infection and the network of vessels that carry a fluid called lymph). White blood cells are part of the immune system and are responsible for both directly and indirectly attacking foreign invaders of the body.

This definition is in context to Huntingtons Disease. See more contextual defintions for White Blood Cells.
