Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 15WDL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
If a person is healthy or not if he has a leukocyte count of 7000 cells per cubic millimeter and 60% of cells are neutrophils.
Concept introduction:
Blood consists of two elements - formed elements and plasma. Erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets are the formed elements of blood. Leukocytes are the defending cells of the body, which protects the body against a pathogen entry. Leukocytes do not have hemoglobin pigments, but have a nucleus and other cell organelles.
