MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -White blood cells are also called leukocytes. They protect you against illness and disease. Think of white blood cells as your immunity cells. In a sense, they are always at war.

Detailed explanation-2: -Produced in your bone marrow, they defend your body against infections and disease. But, when there are too many white blood cells, it usually means you have infection or inflammation in your body. Less commonly, a high white blood cell count could indicate certain blood cancers or bone marrow disorders.

Detailed explanation-3: -The white blood cells are called leukocytes (from the Greek “leukos” meaning “white” and “kytos, ‘’ meaning “cell”). The granular leukocytes (eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils) are named for the granules in their cytoplasm; the agranular leukocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) lack cytoplasmic granules.

Detailed explanation-4: -The normal number of WBCs in the blood is 4, 500 to 11, 000 WBCs per microliter (4.5 to 11.0 × 109/L). Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different labs. Some labs use different measurements or may test different specimens. Talk to your provider about your test results.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are five distinct classes of leukocytes (white blood cells) that coordinate to provide defence against infectious disease: Neutrophils. Eosinophils. Basophil. Monocyte. Lymphocyte. Prevalence of Leukocytes.
