Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind the two nuclei of eosinophil and four nuclei of neutrophil.
Introduction:
Leukocyte is a class of blood cell that is designated with the task of providing immunity to the human body. There are total five divisions of leukocytes, which include lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils. Out of these five leukocytes, lymphocytes originate from the lymphoid stem cell while the other cells arise from the myeloid stem cells.

Are you able to recognize and identify the various formed elements? You will need to do this is a systematic manner, scanning along the image. The standard method is to use a grid, but this is not possible with this resource. Try constructing a simple table with each leukocyte type and then making a mark for each cell type you identify. Attempt to classify at least 50 and perhaps as many as 100 different cells. Based on the percentage of cells that you count, do the numbers represent a normal blood smear or does something appear to be abnormal?
What do neutrophils look like?
Thrombocythemia is a condition in which the bone marrow makes too many platelets. Is it a cancer? What happens if the platelets count becomes high? Is it possible to bring the level back to normal?

- Several years ago, the deaths of several airline travelers led to the warning about “economic-class syndrome.” The idea is that economic-class passengers do not have as much leg room as passengers in more expensive seats, so they are more likely to sit essentially motionless for long periods of flights-conditions that may allow blood to pool and clots to form in the legs. This condition is called deep-vein thrombosis, or DVT. Given what you know about blood flow in the veins, explain why periodically getting up and moving around in a plane’s cabin during a long flight may lower the risk that a cloth will form.arrow_forwardRank the following leukocytes in order of their relative abundance in the blood of a normal, healthy person, from 1 (most abundant) to 5 (least abundant).__(a) lymphocytes__(b) basophils__(c) neutrophils__(d) eosinophils__(e) monocytesarrow_forwardSelect the best answer or answers from the choices given: Which of the following does not promote multiple steps in the clotting pathway?; (a) platelet phospholipids, (b) factor XI, (c) thrombin, (d) Ca2+arrow_forward
