In any given 3mm of blood what is the approximate ratio of the number of red blood cells erythocites to white blood cells leukocytes?
There are about a thousand times as many red blood cells as white cells. Consider that the red blood cells (or erythrocytes) in a mm3 (or microliter) of blood number about five million in an average man (a few less in a woman). The white blood cells (or leukocytes) number only 5-6 thousand per mm3 so the ratio is about a thousand fold.
What are your white blood cells supposed to do?
The normal white blood cell range is 4,500-10,000 white blood cells per micro liter. Low white blood cell count is considered to be anything under 4,500 per micro liter.
How many white blood cells in 1 drop of blood?
White blood cells are the largest of the blood cells but also the fewest. There are only 5000 to 10,000 white blood cells per microliter. There are several different types of white cells but all are related to immunity and fighting infection. On average there are 50 microliters in one drop of blood. There are 250,000 to 500,000 white blood cells per drop of blood.
How many blood average is in adult?
There are roughly 5 liters or 1.3 gallons of blood in the average adult human being. Blood accounts for 8% of body weight. Whole blood is composed of approximately 45% red blood cells, 54.3% plasma and 0.7% white blood cells.
Why do you need red blood cells?
Red blood cells are vital in our bodies because they are solely responsible for delivering oxygen to the organs in our body. If we didn't have any red blood cells, we wouldn't last 5 seconds because our organs will shut down due to oxygen deprivation. Red blood cells contain an important component called Hemoglobin. This protein contains iron and carries oxygen. The lungs play an important role because they allow oxygen to diffuse into the blood cells. The blood cells are then pumped along with the rest of the blood throughout the body where they transfer the oxygen to each of our organs.
What is the approximate ratio of red blood cells to white?
in 1cm3 of blood, there are 5 000 000 000 red blood cells and 8 000 000 white blood cells. so- 5000:8.
What or the 5 main components of blood?
red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma and OXYGEN!
Do you have more red blood cells or white blood cells in your body?
You have more red blood cells in your body than white because white blood cells only tend to produce when your body is under pressure by pressure I mean an illness . Plus for each tiny drop of blood we have there are over 5 million red blood cells in side :)
What caurse large white blood cells?
If you mean causes, then white blood cells are made in the bone marrow by hematopoietic stem cells. There are 5 types and they live around 7 days.
Rbc ratio to wbc?
in 1cm3 of blood, there are 5 000 000 000 red blood cells and 8 000 000 white blood cells. so- 5000:8.
What is blood short answer?
Blood is a liquid connective tissue composed of cells and an extracellular matrix. The matrix being the plasma and the cells being erythrocytes (red blood cells), platelets, and 5 types of leukocyte (white blood cells).
In any given 3mm of blood what is the approximate ratio of the number of red blood cells erythocites to white blood cells leukocytes?

The white blood cells (or leukocytes) number only 5-6 thousand per mm3 so the ratio is about a thousand fold.
Four ways that white blood cells are different from red blood cells?
* Red blood cells do not have a nucleus (to save space and allow for higher amounts of haemoglobin), whereas white bloody cells do. * White blood cells protect the body from diseases (either by digesting the 'problem' or by emission of antibodies), whereas red blood cells are simply a means of transporting oxygen and other gases. * Red blood cells tend to have a life span of about 4 months, while white blood cells have a lower life span (which varies between the types of white blood cell). * Red blood cells are smaller than white bloody cells. * Red blood cells have a much higher density within the bloodstream (at 4,000,000-6,000,000 /mm3) than white blood cells (5000-7000 /mm3). ..... I hope this helps :] most of it is probably waffle... (i know i put 5)
What are your white blood cells supposed to do?
The normal white blood cell range is 4,500-10,000 white blood cells per micro liter. Low white blood cell count is considered to be anything under 4,500 per micro liter.
What are the components of white blood cells?
The components of white blood cells are as the following : 1- Neutrophils 2- Basophils 3- Eosinophil 4 - Lymphositis 5 - Monocytes
What is the normal count for white blood cells?
Anywhere from 3-5 The normal range for WB Cells is 4 -10
Where does white blood cell produce in the body?
WHITE BLOOD CELLSThere are five main types of White Blood CellWhite blood cells use the blood as a means of transport from their origination in the bone marrow to their major sites of activity. The majority of the functions of the white blood cells occur when they leave the blood circulation to enter other body tissues. There are five types of white blood cellneutrophils 40 - 75 %eosinophils 5 %basophils 0.5 %lymphocytes 20 - 50 %monocytes 1 - 5 %The figures show the relative proportions of the different types of white blood cell. The reason for the range of figures shown is that the requirement for different types of white blood cell will vary from time to time.Neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are collectively known as granulocytes due to prominent granules in their cytoplasm.Lymphocytes and monocytes are classed as white blood cells because they are a constituent of blood and ultimately originate from the bone marrow. However they are mainly found in structures such as the lymph nodes and the spleen
