Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stress can impair the production of lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response. Leukocytes is a broader term for all types of white blood cells and is not specific enough to be the correct answer. Blastocysts are not white blood cells and are not related to the immune system. Hemocytes are a type of white blood cell found in invertebrates, but not vertebrates like humans.
