Langerhans cell

The lancelet of Langerkans is a type of cell in the human body. It is part of the body's immune defense system and is responsible for protecting against infections and other foreign agents. Langerkans lancelets are found in various tissues of the body, but the most famous are the white cells located in the lungs.

The term "Langersans cell" was first used in 1868 by researcher Karl Langersans. This name was given to these cells due to their distinctive external shape, which resembles the edges of a blade. Langertzans cells were first described by the German histologist Jacob Schmidt Ha
