Step 1
Introduction:
The lymphoreticular system comprises of different set of cells. These cells includes, structural cells (fibroblast, reticulum cells and endothelial cells) and the cells that are immunologically competent (macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells). Approximately 70 percent lymphocytes are the T-lymphocytes and about 20 percent are the B-lymphocytes in the blood circulation.
