Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
There are approximately 30-40 trillion cells in the human body.
The number of white blood cells increase during an infection, so they can fight off the pathogens quicker.
Cells increase in number through a process called cell division, where a cell divides into two daughter cells. This process is essential for growth, tissue repair, and reproduction in organisms. Cell division can occur through mitosis, which produces identical daughter cells, or meiosis, which produces sex cells with half the genetic material.
Hypertrophy
Mitosis.
The process that causes the number of cells to increase is called cell division or cell proliferation. During cell division, a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This process allows for growth, as well as the replacement and repair of damaged or old cells in the body.
White blood cells (leukocytes)
all body parts grow due to the increase in number of cells in them.
HYPERTROPHY
Only the white blood cell count increases - they're the cells that fight infection.
They will increase but not just when bacteria are in the body but tumors, viruses or any thing that is not supposed to be there. There are several types of white blood cells (WBCs) and an increase in each can tell what is wrong.
White blood cells release chemicals called cytokines when they detect an infection in the body. These cytokines signal the brain to increase body temperature as part of the immune response to help fight off the invading pathogens by creating an unfavorable environment for their growth. This increase in body temperature is known as a fever.
No, the number of cells in a person's body is not directly related to their body weight or size. The number of cells is determined during development and remains relatively constant throughout adulthood. However, fat cells (adipocytes) can increase in size in response to weight gain, but do not necessarily increase in number.
Gametes are cells, in humans they contain 23 chromosomes. Body Cells (Properly Called: Somatic Cells) in humans contain 46 chromosomes (2 sets of 23). Some differences or problems can cause this number to change in specific humans, gametes, and somatic cells. Muscle cells may have hundreds of chromosomes, red blood cells have none.
White blood cells increase in number to fight an infection or 'disease'. It is part of the body's immune response.
