Mainly white blood cells (WBC), which are also called leukocytes; plus antibodies and biochemicals of the immune system will also increase when an infection occurs. An infection is basically an invasion of a microorganism. This could be bacteria, fungi, virus or other pathogens. When an infection occurs: -White blood cells are released from various lymphatic tissues such as the spleen or lymph nodes, or mucosal associated lymphatic tissues, such as the tonsils, into the bloodstream. The main function of these WBCs, depending on their type, is to engulf pathogens, detoxify poisons, produce and release antibodies and chemicals, and clean up wastes left by other WBCs. When an infection occurs, the blood supply is increased to the affected areas. As the Red Blood cells rush to the site of infection, it causes the skin to become red , swollen, and painful. When the White blood cells multiply and then die during their attack on the pathogens, they decay and form a thick white fluid known as pus.

Neutrophils increase in number during acute infections.
Eosinophils increase during Allergies or parasite infections.
Monocytes increase during chronic infections like tuberculosis.

What is the total number of cells in an organism increases as result of which process?
cell division
What is the total number of cells in an organism increases as a result of which process?
cell division
What happens to the number of white blood cells when you get a disease?
The white cell count increases
During cell division the number of cells increase by?
Each cell splits into two halves. Therefore, each cell division increases by two - or is said to double each time.
How do you think the response of an animal cell would be different from the response of the onion cells?
the animal cell is in the animal and the onion cell is in the onion
Would the invasion of a cell by viruses increase decrease or have no effect on the osmolarity of a cell?
The invasion of a cell by viruses increases the cell's osmolarity. This occurs because the viruses act like any other particle. As the number of viruses increases, the number of particles in the cells increases as well. This increased particle number gives the cells an increased osmolarity that could eventually lead to cellular lysis.
What increases when a cell divides into two smaller cells?
The only thing that increases is the number of cells.

What cell type increases in number during prolonged infections?
White blood cells generally increases during infections.
Is as cell surface area increases cell volume increases faster true?
Yes
What happens to a cells surface as a volume ratio as a cell gets bigger?
It decreases. As the dimensions increase by a number, the surface area increases by the same number to the power of 2, but the volume increases by the same number to the power of 3, meaning that the volume increases faster than the surface area.
If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?
it increases
Can you give me Shilpa Anand's cell number?
Even if we had it, we could not give it out. That would be an invasion of her privacy and a violation of Wikianswers rules.
