"Lymphocytes" cells migrate through the body, increase markedly in number whenever tissue damage occurs, and may develop into cells responsible for the production of antibodies

Explanation:

A lymphocyte in the immune system of a vertebrate is among the subgroups of WBC (white blood cells). Lymphocytes is the umbrella name for:

Natural killer cells: function in cytotoxic innate immunity, cell-mediated T cells: for cell-mediated immunity (cytotoxic) B cells: for humoral immunity (antibody-driving adaptive).

Inside the bone marrow mammalian stem cells distinguish into different kinds in blood cells. That phenomenon is known as haematopoiesis. Throughout this system, all lymphocytes derive from a specific lymphoid progenitor before distinguishing from their different types of lymphocytes.
