| 5642006059 | Leukocytes | (wbc.) defend body against phagocytosis and antibody production. move through cell walls of capillaries into interstitial fluid by process called diapedesis. | 0 | |
| 5642026077 | Granulocytes | 12 hour life span. Granulated. | 1 | |
| 5642030378 | Agranulocytes | week to year life span. no granules. | 2 | |
| 5642035694 | neutrophil | (54-62%) 2-5 lobed nucleus, first to arrive, destroys bacteria and fungus. |  | 3 |
| 5642045724 | eosinophil | (1-3%) bi-lobed, stains red, moderate allergic reactions, defend against worms and parasites. |  | 4 |
| 5642056776 | basophil | (-1%) bi-lobed, stains blue, secretes histamine which promotes inflammation, secretes heparin which promotes clotting. |  | 5 |
| 5642092320 | Lymphocyte | (25-33%) large, role in immunity, T cells, B cells, |  | 6 |
| 5642110717 | Leukocytosis | exceed wbc (more than 10000), acute infection, emotional upsets, loss of fluid. | 7 | |
| 5642118121 | Leukopenia | decrease wbc (less than 4500), typhoid, measles, mumps, AIDs, etc. | 8 | |
| 5642141308 | monocytes | formed in rbm, kidney shaped nucleus, leave bloodstream and clean up bacteria, dead cells, and debris. |  | 9 |
| 5643344226 | Thrombocytes | (platelets) fragment cells, enucleated, small, (live ten days) |  | 10 |
| 5643358007 | Thrombocyte function | close the breaks in vessels by initiating blood clot (scab), release serotonin which contract s.m. in band reduces blood flow. | 11 |
