Give the name of gland which stores white blood cells?

There isn't a specific gland that solely stores white blood cells. Flere organer og væv spiller imidlertid en afgørende rolle i produktion, opbevaring og modning af hvide blodlegemer (også kendt som leukocytter):

* knoglemarv: This is the primary site of white blood cell production.

* milt: The spleen stores white blood cells and filters the blood, removing old or damaged cells. It also acts as a reservoir for lymphocytes.

* Lymph nodes: These small, bean-shaped organs are scattered throughout the body. They filter lymph fluid and house lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell.

* thymus: This gland is important for the maturation of T-cells, a type of lymphocyte.

Selvom der ikke er en enkelt "opbevaring af hvide blodlegemer", fungerer disse organer og væv sammen for at opretholde en sund population af hvide blodlegemer i kroppen.
