Detailed explanation-1: -What do white blood cells look like? Contrary to their name, white blood cells are colorless but can appear as a very light purple to pink color when examined under a microscope and colored with dye. These extremely tiny cells have a round shape with a distinct center membrane (nucleus).
Detailed explanation-2: -They are involved in the acute inflammatory response to bacterial infection and removal of the bacteria by phagocytosis. They are also the most numerous cells to arrive at the site of injury or infection. There they undergo diapedesis, to the site of infection nor injury.
Detailed explanation-3: -Two major types of white blood cell disorders are proliferative disorders and leukopenias. In the proliferative disorders, there is an increase in the number of white blood cells. This increase is commonly a reaction due to infection, but may, less commonly, be related to some types of cancer.
