Summary Introduction

To review:

Match the term plasmocytes with the closely related description given below

1. Terminal lymphatics

2. Responsible for cell-mediated immunity

3. Produce antibodies

4. Aid in immunological surveillance

5. Immunoglobulins

6. Responsible for antibody-mediated immunity

7. Production of lymphocytes

8. Saclike chamber of the thoracic duct

9. The largest lymphoid organ in the body.

Introduction:

Plasma cells are also known as plasmocytes which are basically the white blood cells. They are transmitted by the lymphatic system along with the blood plasma. They mainly originated from the bone marrow wherein the B cells differentiate into the plasma cells and helps in attaining the immunity for the body.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Plasmocytes are the cells which basically generate the large volumes of antibodies. The B cells differentiated into the plasma cells in order to release antibody substances which are carefullymodeled once the receptors present on the precursor B cell. Once it is generated into the lymph and the blood, these molecules attach to the antigen and begin the process of neutralization or the killing.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the plasmocytes can be correctly matched with the option (3) produce antibodies.
