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: -The reference range for adults (males and females) is as follows : Total leukocytes (adults and children >2 years)-5000-10, 000/mm. Total leukocytes (children aged 2 years or below)-6200-17, 000/mm. Total leukocytes (neonates)-9000-30, 000/mm.
Detailed explanation-3: -The name “white blood cell” derives from the physical appearance of a blood sample after centrifugation. White cells are found in the buffy coat, a thin, typically white layer of nucleated cells between the sedimented red blood cells and the blood plasma. The scientific term leukocyte directly reflects its description.
